im sort of quite/shy also but i have posted. I love reading all the posts and this is where i spend about 2-3 hours each evening anyways! i love this board. Thanks for all the info!

Is your dog going to bite me if I don't post?

This makes my third post today. Most days I don't get to sit and read, and most often by the time I read topics, everyone else has already said pretty much what I would say.

Makes me feel pretty good about the group. So much talent, so many projects...

My name is Coleen, and I'm a lurker. I have been reading on this board for a long time. I already feel like I'm part of the group even tho I have never posted, everyone is so nice and helpful. My biggest problem is that I'm not very tech savvy and don't know even know now if this is the correct way to post. I don't know how to post pictures or make an avatar. I'd love to be a "regular" here, so if anyone can help me out or direct me somewhere to learn how, I'd be glad to learn!

Coleen, you've done something right! I just saw your note on the board, which means you are no longer a lurker. Welcome! Don't worry about an avatar or posting pics, join the conversation and when you feel comfortable, just ask. Someone will be able to help you with any of that tech stuff you need.

I love all these 1st, 2nd 3rd messagers. Good job standing up! I just got out here well - 17 messages ago! Love this site! And yes, it does take some time. But it's worth it!

Lololo you think you are not savy Colleen, I not only don't know how to post a picture I don't know what an avatar is!!!! Woe is Me!

Qbird: Don't worry, neither did we at first. Your avatar is your picture. "Hugs" Deb :)

I haven't read through all the pages but Welcome to all you who have gone from lurker to poster. There are so many amazing ladies and gentlemen on this Forum. Quilters seem to be about the nicest people in the world!

Stitchnfind, I think you should post a larger picture of your avatar.....are those popsicles I'm seeing?

Woodland Creature,
I think you should post a larger pic of your avatar, too! It looks like a nice design!
