I like that our biggest problems here are how we make that blasted piece of fabric measure up to 12 1/2 inches so we don't have to hear from Janice about it

and is this piece of fabric white or snow? Or this one teal or aqua? Shall I join one group or two? And I like to wonder, just how is it that an ugly grey fabric can turn it into a beautiful block? And how do all those little hexies go together? And should I join the postcard swap? And then my bad thoughts are as simple as
And what am I going to do with all those Boom blocks I have? Am I a Boom'aholic? These are the tough things we have to deal with here. I like it better than
out there by far.
A friend & I were talking quilting, she's recently widowed & trying to figure out her 'new' life, and she asked me if I was one of those people who have many projects started but not finished. (I think it must be tattooed on my forehead). I confessed and she said how do you deal with it? I said, there is a support group for that! We had a good laugh. But I do think that is a big part QUILTINGBOARD plays in many lives, we are such a fast moving, spread out culture that we need like minded friends to share our victories & our uglies with. It is nice to have a bit of respite from the busyness, get encouragement from others, learn new tricks, and laugh a bit at a poor naked chicken.
(I love that chicken)
thank you, Janice for being willing to give of your time & maybe a bit of sanity for our well-being. I maybe the newbie, but I know a good thing when I see it. Nope, a great thing!
