Gosh, it was so long ago, but I believe I was looking up how to do something, found out about getting the newsletter, I cannot remember how long after it was announced they were going to start the quiltingboard. Watched it for a while and finally had a question so signed up to ask it.

Quilting magazine I think. (Note sure). Glad I found it though.

Googled something quilting related and ended up here. Best Google session ever. :thumbup:

OmaForFour 08-08-2011 03:27 AM

I don't remember how I got on it but I am so blessed that I did because you and I have been close friends ever since!

It might have been when I did a search for something and just came across it.

I've only been on the board a very few months and still can't remember how I found it....must of been looking for free patterns/etc and it popped up. This board is awesome and I have felt at home and am being continually educated. I'm a very new quilter, however, sewed for years. Actually, Olivia's Grammy, I used to teach English smocking in Fayetteville, GA !

Last year I decided I would finally learn to quilt and found this Board while searching for info on how to begin the learning process.

pocoellie 08-08-2011 05:07 AM

I have NO idea. LOL

duckydo 08-08-2011 05:26 AM

a friend sent me the web site

MaineGirl76 08-08-2011 05:30 AM

I did a search for quilt patterns and this board came up, What a blessing that was, I love this board!

bonnyh 08-08-2011 05:30 AM

It's funny you should ask. A few days ago I was wondering the same thing. Then yesterday, one of my long arm customers sent me an email telling me what she's been up to, and it finally came to me. She's the one that told me about this site. Now I've shared the site with friends in my Sit 'n Stitch group and, if I can remember, will tell my guild members as well.

My wonderful MIL introduced me to this site :)

nyelphaba 08-08-2011 05:41 AM

I was on the knitting board and one of the threads mentioned this site and I have been here ever since.

joyce j 08-08-2011 05:51 AM

I just stumbled into it. best stumble I ever made. Was looking for something an found this.

Murphy1 08-08-2011 06:04 AM

I am not sure how I found it. I have blogs that I enjoy as well. This is more interesting and rewarding than facebook, although I have several quilt sites there as well. Reading the quilting board is part of my morning ritual since probably March, I can't remember for sure when I joined.

Did you have a shop? I vaguely remember a smocking shop.

judykay 08-08-2011 06:23 AM

I was looking for something quilt related on the web,not sure what or what site now but found this link, joined and now I am on it two or three times a day. Love it and all the wonderful other quilters. Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable, if you need an answer to something just post it and you will recevieve replys almost immediate. When I tell non quilters about the board they have no idea what I am talking about, their loss.

Landers 08-08-2011 06:24 AM

JoyjoyMarie 08-08-2011 07:03 AM

I think I clicked on it when it came up on my Facebook page. The one and only ad I clicked on from there! And now I'm here much more than there, I might add!

I was looking for Quilter's Newsletter magazine to Get the magazine coming to the house. It was on the list, so I clicked on it. I wasn't to sure I would like it.....But now I have so many friends and have learned many things. My virtual friend, those I can see and touch think I am crazy. I miss my friends when I am away from the computer.
