What a great board this is!
 
Today as I have read through many posts, I have been brought to tears by this board and the support it gives to those who are sick and lonely. I just wanted to say thank you for all being the great ladies (and gentlemen) that makes this board so wonderful.

The members of this board are truly good people. I'm sure a lot are like myself and say prayers for those who need them even when I don't post a reply.

For me, it is also a perfect rebuttal to people who say the internet is the breakdown of human social contact. A board like this gives friendship around the world to people with a common interest, despite many differences. I love that details like nationality or color or religion or politics or gender preference are not out there unless someone chooses to reveal them. We meet on what we have in common and overcome what might, in a different circumstance, keep us apart. We touch each others' hearts by our words and our pictures. I am also glad I found this group, and grateful to those who are so kind.

I have had the pleasure to be on this board and through it to see that there are some very good people on this board.
I have also been taken advantage of on this board. But for the most part, the people are very helpful and kind.
Have sent prayers out, and recieved prayers and for that I'm thankful.

I agree that this is a great place, great people, talent galore, like our own little neighborhood to visit whenever we want. :thumbup:'

This has alot more nice people than ones that are not so nice. The not so nice usually don't hang around for long. There are lots of people willing to share their knowledge.

I couldn't agree more with all of the posts we've had our ups and downs with the new format but we managed to hold everyone together. I love being here over all the other boards because of all of you are what I refer to as close friends. I love the daily life talks and encouragement that everyone gives to each other something I never really found any place else. I'm happy to have all of you in my life as well even if I don't post every day I'm just as happy to sit and read/laugh/cry with you all!

This board gets my day going, it is full of help, friendship and encouragement for all.

I feel like we are all sisters in one big family - when one hurts we all hurt; when one celebrates we all celebrate, etc. No matter what the situation is we all come together. Thank you dear ones for being the extended family so many of us need.

That's for sure!! I loved the thread about our quirky habits! It felt like we were sitting in someone's living room comparing notes! And so many of us seem to have the same quirkiness, a little bit of ocd and perfectionism! Thank you all for being here!

All we need is a pot of coffee and a plate of cookies! {{{{{ GROUP HUG }}}}} :)

I really like this board and look forward to reading it everyday. Lots more positives than negatives and that is so nice to find.

MimiBug123 09-06-2012 04:08 PM

Loving this board, too. It's the first thing I open in the morning when I get up. I've learned a lot on here, caught the vintage bug disease on here, met lots of nice people and some not nice ones. It's really like another family. Thanks, guys!

A couple of days ago I posted a thank you to any and all who have made and donated things to another human. My family was touched by kindness, just one week ago today when my grandson arrived early. The very first picture we saw of him was wearing a tiny red knit hat. It meant so much to us. And we saw so very many newborns and preemies wearing tiny knit hats some kind people had made and donated. You have no idea how much it meant to us. The person who knit that tiny red hat will probably never know how much it meant/and will continue to mean to us. But this quilt board allowed me to send out thankyous to anyone who has made and donated anything to another. One quilter even mentioned she has made hats like these in the past and how nice it was to know families of these babies really appreciated them. This board is so wonderful. Please never let the negative get to you, because there are just so many wonderful people out there who belong to these boards. And from my family...THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!

This is my first post ever! I've really enjoyed all the trials and tribulations of the quilters (me included)! ;-) My favoriate time to read the posts is when everyone is in bed (hubby & 26yr old daughter) and it's just me and my 'puter. My quiet time to enjoy everyone! Thank you all ---- my sisters/brothers throughout the world!

This is a wonderful board and my second home.

I am so glad LynneVT said this. We can all be freinds despite differences, especially if we don't know the difference, but we know what we have in common! LOL!
