I am in there with you all. The board is the first thing I check every morning. Check it a few times throughout the day and once before going to bed. I don't post as often as I'd like to as we have dial up and it takes so long just to view what everyone else has posted. But soon, 2 weeks, I will be moving and will be in an area that has wireless hi speed internet (yea!) and I can post, post, post.
I have been a member for over a year and love it here. Everyone is so nice and it is wonderful to share with all of you. You start out by sharing your quilting passions and find that you have this in common and that in common and it soon becomes so much more than a quilting comraderie, it's a new family.
