I am here several times a day, and have found this board to be helpful in many ways. First and foremost, I love being around other quilters, and being able to absorb their knowledge and admire their pictures, and share my thoughts and ideas. I also enjoy the recipe section, and have tried many posted recipes or ideas. The personal section has given me a glimpse into many of my fellow quilters lives, and I love being able to attach a name to a story. I have also learned how different we all are, in our thought process and belief system. Just in my personal life, I've had to become tolerant of others beliefs, even though I don't agree with them, and honestly don't understand them. Sometimes I have trouble even respecting them, but that's on me. I enjoy the general announcements and look forward to antidotes, and tidbits that others share. I enjoy the kinship of all the keyboard companions I have come across while visiting this board!
