I have only been here since the end of January and I have already learned:

What real hand quilting looks like.
How to test for fabric bleeding.
How to make hexagons. (made a block for applique)
Paper peicing! (BOM made 2 blocks already!)
How to make my own pattern! (with all the math!)

And lots of other things.

I thought I knew how to quilt.
Now I am learning how to quilt!

But there is a problem... Now I want my own sewing room, a cat and a long arm.

You go girl!!! You are a true Quilt Addict!! :-D

Hahahahahahaha - that is adorable ;) Isn't quilting addictive????!!! This forum is really fun, I also especially love the tutorials. It's incredible what people with share for the pure joy of sharing. I love it. :)

Well...I've got 2 out of 3...hmm...now where can I put a long arm. Think hubby will give up the 3rd car garage & park his motorcycles outside?? :twisted:

This sure makes learning fun doesn't it. If you're this addicted already, hmmm, maybe you want to stay away from the Vintage Machine shop or you'll be collecting those along with us LOL !

LOL, You are on the mark! I too want, want, want!! I have found that reading here is always a learning experience as well as a "I need one of those too!" or "I really would like to make that!"

One thing I hope you learn is that you have alot of new friends here.

But of course! :)

I've got one! a Singer 101

I love the QB :)

LOL, yes eventually you will need all 3, dont' forget the chocolate.

LOL me too, a nice soft lovable quilt police (cat )would be nice..I have learned so much from being here, there are some very wonderful people on this board..

LOL And the list of wants never gets shorter... one more machine, one more pattern, collection of fabrics, notions..... :D:D:D

LOL, yes its true, this board can make you add to your "someday" to do/will have list. It's a never ending fountain of inspriation full of really great human beings! That's why I love it here!

Explosive blessings, abundance and inspiration to you all!

Amen! I feel like I have a room full of friends here. =)

LOL. A girl after my own heart!

Most definately remember to have your stash of chocolate...I sadly bought m & m's, the cat thought they were awesome toys..needless to say..I am now once again out of chocolate..:)

i would love to have a long arm too. good luck getting yours

You go girl!!

that is too funny

Yep, you now belong to QA

Welcome to the wonderful world of quilting :D

Welcome to the board everyone who is new to us. It is a wonderful place to share and learn and make friends. It is addicting and there is not a 12-step program for withdrawing so be verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry careful. LOL

Too late. I am hooked! Was getting up at 4:30 in the morning so I wouldn't miss anything.

Well, I have the sewing room, don't want the cat, but want a long arm. I love it here too :thumbup: :lol:

the perfect life for sure

Three cats, silly girl! One for each project you're actively working on. Hmmmm, I guess I'm gonna need a few more....

I have found that I have saved money by being here, also.

I love it when the others post sites that are having sales, or hints on homemade items. Making my own starch has saved a bunch of money! Buying my blades at Harbor Frieght has worked out well. Getting patterns for blocks free! I could go on, but have to get back to sewing!!

I have learned a lot here too. I also have 5 daughters and 3 sons

I thought I knew how to quilt before I found the board. What a beginner I am!LOL I'm trying to figure our where to put a long arm too. DH already took the garage for his boat. We rent so adding on isn't an option, and our lease has 2 more years on it. Got to figure out how to rearrange the living room. I love all you enablers!!!

Welcome on board! Maybe a little dog instead of a cat? I sure love mine. He too likes to pretest everything and he doesn't jump on the ironing board and knot the iron over. He is as soft and does not shed!
The proud owner of the other kind.

I have all that and the Cat! I just need the long arm!

You learn so fast. I'm happy there's more like me on this board. (smiles all around)

Holy Cow. I've been here for several years and haven't learned all of that. Maybe I need to start spending even MORE time on this site??

Good luck with your wants.

All of your comments make my day EVERY DAY when we exchange ideas and information. I especially appreciate those who have shared their life's experiences, even when it is not easy to do so. We are a family with similiar interests and problems.

I have learned alot here too,and and I too have a cat. Makes it all the more fun.

for the cat, go to Petfinder.com. People get all kinds (some purebreds) and give them up. Price is very reasonable, they have shots and are spayed or neutered - also, usually they are very grateful to have a home!

But there is a problem... Now I want my own sewing room, a cat and a long arm.

Ha ha ha !!!! ditto!!!!

I LOVE it here. Waiting on my fabric to come in the mail. I can't wait to get started. I'm sure I will need help and I know just where to go.
