Well, you may be right about the helpless thing, but I know people who are just obsessive talkers. Or is that compulsive talkers. It is truly difficult for them to be quiet. They are usually good people, but cannot be quiet. It must be hard to live that way.

When I was new to my group, I knew nothing about quilt sewing techniques. I soon realized I was asking too many questions of the person next to me. So I made a plan for myself and stopped trying to do the same projects as the group. I picked basic projects to learn techniques. Now years later I still follow this plan. I do projects that help me grow. When someone asks for my help, I can smile and say, "I'm sorry I am not working on that project at this time, I am working on something else." I plan my own projects that push me to learn new techniques or skills. I am always looking for new projects to push me out of my comfort zone. That is what I like about this board. There are so many here doing different projects that I am frequently ahead of the trends and get my own ideas about doing projects. Quilting has helped me find my creative self. I am so happy I found all of you. Thanks for being here.

LOL, my shirt says I quilt so I don't choke people. Oh the looks one gets!! I actually bought it because of my boss.
