It's not even fun on there anymore, I just look at the pictures and skip the talk.
I enjoyed the FB page when it wasn't mystery time. So I'm with you....check out the pictures and make supportive comments. I don't typically post quilt things to FB anyway, because everyone on my feed sees it. It's not that what I post I wouldn't want people to see, but here at least you have to be interested in quilting to come visit the board. Most of my FB friends would never care about my quilting exploits, so I don't need to bother them!!!
I also don't envy Bonnie. It takes alot of guts and courage to be a public personality in whatever trade you are in. My DH has gone through that in the computer industry. You get all the good and the bad from people (and publicity) and somehow people think you should be a God, which of course you are not. Because of his experience, I always try to give Bonnie the benefit of the doubt and recognize that most of us would never be able to pull off being a public persona. I would much rather quilt in the quiet of my home knowing that if I make a mistake its just between me and my seam ripper!
