I have been amazed at the willingness to help others. We have a level of knowledge to pull from that we wouldn't get anywhere else. That is what I believe. I also learn something new each time I sign on. And we can forget about keeping up with all the post, I don't see how it would be possible. I use the search field alot when I have a question because there is probably something posted on it. Seems there is no question that is embarrassing because everyone was a beginner at some point in time and I never feel faulted for not knowing. The quiltingboard has my vote.
