I am so content here what need do I have for Facebook? Most of my friends swear by it and I could care less. They give a flip about my sewing until they want me to make them something for free... I have learned to giggle and reply, "I'll be sure to add that to my list of things to do." They fill their time with TV and the mall. Like someone else wrote mall is a four letter word to me. I would rather go to the dentist....Hubby is nowon vacation for 9 days He doesn't understand that if I want to sew the dishes can wait, or that my hand is not the only one that can open the refrigerator door...I have Christmas projects to finish.

Enjoy your quilting time, nothing like day of sewing to clear the mind. !!It hasn't been long since I stumbled across this board, and I must say I am so pleased I did, It has been a real eye opener for me, as I never realised how kind and thoughtful people can be and so helpful and encouraging of one and other, even though we are a long way from each other, it feels like the quilterhood is in my home. I am on FB, but must admit I find it rather boring with no real genuine imput, so now I am on here reading all the interesting posts, looking at the beautiful pictures and quilts and putting a little bit of imput in myself is very theraputic. Love it !!

I 'get it'. I love days like that - no phone, no cleaning, no work, just sewing!!

I used to be very active on facebook before I took up quilting. I still try to keep up somewhat because all my music friends are there. I really don't want to let that part of my life slip away, but I can see the inclination to do just that pulling at me. I have always had several creative outlets; painting, beading, crafting in general. After I got hurt, and lost many of my more physical activities, I discovered that I could write songs. I became fairly active in the local music scene, and music makes me happy and away from my pain just like quilting does. With the quilting, I can just stay home and do it when I want. It feeds my tendency to hermitize. I really need to resist that and continue to get out and mingle with my music friends too. Left to my own tendencies, I'd probably never leave the house. LOL
Hugs and smiles all, wildlinda

I also understand!

I understand too - I post my pics on FB and no one even makes a comment; but when I put things here, there is all kinds of oohs and aaaaahhs. Everyone here is the best: so full of creativity, knowledge and encouragement; I so enjoy reading, learning and sharing with all my QB's (quilting buddies). Thanks!

Hi Japonica I also love love love this board. I don't often write in but I read almost everything. Time permitting. As for emailing a picture of your first quilting project to friends why not post it in pictures for this board. We would all love to see it and appreciate it. Lylamarie

When I first read it, I read it wrong. I thought you were taking the day off from cleaning and sewing. Then I re read it and it does say what u wanted to! If I saw it on fb I probably would have posted to not give up the sewing! But that would have been wrong so I'm glad I didn't see it on fb!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! :roll: :-P :lol:

Love it and know exactly what you are talking about.

I get it...did the same yesterday. In fact, my husband stayed in the garage all day and left me alone, then he put the finishing touches on dinner so I could finish my project. I got an entire quilt face 48x48 done for a baby quilt I am making. Hope you have as much fun as I did.
