The Haven, for me, is a smaller, more intimate, and very friendly place. Can't think why anyone would not want to register. On the haven many of the members have "journals" where they share "semi-private" things with their online buddies. Not stuff they are trying to hide, necessarily, but just stuff most of the world would not be interested in. Just about everything else on there i was able to see before i became a member. I love the journal feature. and THAT is where i keep my ideas about life and about quilting, including my studio dreams. We would love to have you join us. we are really a great bunch of ladies, and the Haven is so user friendly. I had a dickens of a time using QB. QH came to me "just like that"!!
