ok, I too will try to give a short version. I have always been a "shoot from the hip" kinda girl; just felt that life is too short to be fake. that being said; the watchful eye of the moderators here have made me realize that sometimes it is enough to "play nice". Just because I have an opinion on something, or because my way would surely have been better (insert sarcasm here) lol, does't mean I have to voice it harshly. And I now actually think before I speak (most of the time)both online and off, and when I don't . . . I delete my rant when possible hopefully before it causes contraversy or hurt feelings. I am not a great quilter and absolutely love and value all the tips, advise, pictures and help and friendly feeling I have found here
