Am I the only one who did this? I finally joined because I wanted to comment on a posting. It would be interesting to know why you joined too.

I think it was about the same for me, at least a couple of years. I was introduced to the site by my friend who started me on my quilting journey. But it took me a while to feel like I had anything to offer. If I had questions, I asked her. I never introduced myself, just joined and jumped right in. :-D :-D

This site was recommended to me. I joined on my first visit. It is so active and there is something for everyone here. My favorite discussions are the tutorials and pictures. Although I have added to "chit-chat" a few times and have joined the BOM and the applique BOM.

I come here every morning now with my cup of tea...........

I lurked for about four months until my husband convinced me to join because he always heard me saying how nice everyone was on here. I don't know why I didn't sign up right away, probably because he had to show me how to set up my avatar!

I joined my first visit but didn't get chatty for close to a year. I'm usually just a lurker on sites but this place is so friendly I just couldn't keep my mouth shut! I've been a member of Pattern Review since probably 2003 or 2004 and only have a couple hundred posts there in all the years I've been a member.

I lurked for at least a year and I'm not sure why I didn't join sooner. I finally joined when I just had to share some information on featherweights. I enjoy being inspired daily by the wonderful quilts I see and appreciate all of the good quilting tips.
