You're not alone. Reading the QB is part of my morning routine!

I look forward to the daily quilting board email and yes I do spend hours because I can't make myself stop...lots of good info and many new friends. Enjoy your day.

Guilty here, and dam_ _ _ it's getting worse LOL. When I first joined the site, I glanced at the discussions for tips, and downloaded a few of the pictures for inspiration. Over time, a recipe would catch my eye; I'd notice a newbie from my area; Someone would be selling something that I might be interested in; I'd notice a link that I just HAD to check out; or something in "chit-chat" would peak my curiosity.
Experts say the first step is to admit your addiction - - OK, OK, I admit it, I'm a QB Junkie. Now get me to a facility where I can enroll in a good 9-step program where I can serve my 28 days and get back to quilting.

I spend way too much time on here every day. I work at a school and actually have some time for this in the summer. I worry about during the school year. Last year I got on here several times before work and was almost late.

Rose Ann 06-27-2011 06:19 AM

Can't go without my daily "fix" of what's new on the Board.

sewmuchlove 06-27-2011 06:26 AM

Are you kidding? I have to set a time limit for myself. But the ideas are so wonderful and so nice to see others creativity. My "to do" list is too full and I'm still bookmarking more. LOL

luvstoquilt 06-27-2011 06:31 AM

I can't wait to see what is happening on the board. I check it regularly.

romanojg 06-27-2011 06:34 AM

I work Sun thru Wed so I'm on and off of here all day on those days but Thur thru Sat; it's a hit n miss when I'm on here. You just learn so much here.

Rann 06-27-2011 06:38 AM

This is the first thing I go to every morning--and several times a day.

That IS sad. ;)

Abby'smom 06-27-2011 07:06 AM

you are not alone!

G-MaDiane 06-27-2011 07:58 AM

Oh Man, I have to read a little in the morning (It's so hard to leave the board) and make myself get some chores done before I read more. On a good day, I do most of my reading just before I go to bed at night.

Owllady 06-27-2011 08:02 AM

Guilty!!!!

mzmama 06-27-2011 08:49 AM

Is there a QB annonymous?

grammysharon 06-27-2011 09:15 AM

I agree! I am inspired and find so much information on this site. Love looking @ the quilts!!!

PamB8s 06-27-2011 09:17 AM

I always enjoy reading your post. Now everytime I see them I'm going to think about you typing away on your phone while the gas pump is going LOL

Iamquilter 06-27-2011 09:48 AM

No you are not alone and I spend way to much time on here, but I most quit now and get some piecing done.

brewsa 06-27-2011 09:52 AM

I have gotten so bad about this. I am a teacher, and I am on summer vacation so every morning I have to "catch up" and then I have to check back through the day.

You are definitely not alone!

eastermarie 06-27-2011 10:07 AM

It is addictive. I should be sewing, but I'm afraid I've missed something in a post.

Patchworkmarion 06-27-2011 11:34 AM

I'm guilty too.It's the first thing I do every morning.Love this group,and have learned such a lot.

vintage cowgirl 06-27-2011 12:54 PM

Oh yes I'm addicted and was even before I joined.

Janet L52 06-27-2011 01:42 PM

Count me in! I love being on here and check it first thing in the morning and then back again in the afternoon. I enjoy all the posts, pictures - well, just everything! I do need to do some sewing, not to mention housework and yard work. But I'm not giving this up, I enjoy it too much!

susanwilley 06-27-2011 01:46 PM

I spend way to much on this QB. I'm getting nothing done.

Lisa Marie 06-27-2011 01:48 PM

I am just as guilty, I really enjoy this site & can't stop looking.

ann clare 06-27-2011 02:51 PM

I am guilty too

Tweety2911 06-27-2011 02:53 PM

Hello my name is....
Totally addicted and am loving it :-)

Nanjun 06-27-2011 03:47 PM

Been here day. Does that mean I am addicted?

grandjan 06-27-2011 05:08 PM

I did at first, but no pretty much limit myself to one "visit" each day and no more than half an hour or so. Otherwise, nothing gets done. :lol:

Anne T 06-27-2011 05:39 PM

I love this board and the ladies on it. When I have a problem always get good advise. Yes I am guilty of checking it twise a day.:)

pjnesler 06-27-2011 06:11 PM

Oh Ya! That's me! I hate to miss a post, I get so much out of this site, and have recomended it to a few friends, hope I don't get them into trouble by spending too much time here!

quiltinghere 06-27-2011 06:13 PM

Same here too - I was just thinking this past weekend that if I spent 1-2 hours sewing instead of being at this wonderful board I'd get a lot more sewing DONE!!!

Maybe NEXT month I'll try to do that.....

Minnisewta 06-27-2011 06:24 PM

Guilty!!!!

caspharm 06-27-2011 06:32 PM

I'm guilty, too, but part of it is I am waiting for furniture to finish my room. My computer is currently taking up my entire sewing table. I'm cutting out blocks, but not sewing.

Becka 06-27-2011 06:34 PM

I'm not always "on", but I work at a computer so my email is up all the time. I watch topics and get an email alert when someone posts, and of course I click in right away. I also subscribe to the daily digest and use that to "keep up." I only get to quilt some evenings when I get home from work, if I don't have homework to do or lessons to prepare, and if the kids did my... um, THEIR chores...

Debbie C 06-27-2011 06:35 PM

you are not alone, I'm just as guilty!!

slk350 06-27-2011 06:58 PM

Addicted ?? Well, I try to come on only late at night. Between 12 midnight til 3 am.

RobertaMarie 06-27-2011 07:52 PM

I spend lots of time reading the messages here. I found it when I had surgery and couldn't see to sew. Well, I am still here and don't regret it all all. I have made friends here and found out that several of my guild friends are also here! I tell myself it is okay, as it is educational, social, and helpful to me since I can't drive and get out and about now. I do not watch TV, but I do read!! I love this board and will not call it my "addiction", but you may have to call the men in white coats if you take it away from me.

Psychomomquilter 06-28-2011 03:49 AM

you aren't alone on that one.

tntgranny 06-28-2011 11:41 AM

My problem is sneaking a look while at work. My productivity goes down dramatically when there are a lot of great topics - and my bank account goes down dramatically when there a great "links and resources." Better get back to work - if my productivity goes down anymore I wont have the money to even look and the links and resources.
