I've posted on forums since 1995, OK official old guy. While I don't post on many quilting boards - just two different sewing related forums. I did notice on the other forum that I am on, that one of the most popular sections is the beginners section. There are many kind people out there that like to help out the younger or in my case less experienced people in the craft. I thank those of that ilk.
I have, what I refer to as, a Strange Twist on this hobby. It's not my hobby. It's my wife's. She has been quilting for 30 years. We have dozens upon dozens of quilts in our home and several dozen more have been gifted, just like most of you. I probably said this earlier in this thread but I think many advanced techniques are really executing the fundamentals of the hobby with precision and efficiency.
My wife just isn't into forums. She sews / pieces / quilts and I type. We are usually in the same room together, I'm on the computer, she is on her sewing machine. Like I said, strange twist on the hobby.
Some of you that have been around a while can probably relate to this, but just because you have been doing something for a long time, doesn't necessarily mean you know what you are doing.
Some want to keep doing just what they have always done. If you have an open mind and want to advance your skill set, you can still learn.
I want to thank everyone on this forum for making me feel welcome here and for openly sharing your thoughts and experiences.
