I'm just curious. I manage two sections in the virtuals and there are several more. I was wondering if they are being visited.

If you haven't seen them you will find

IRRs
Irish Chains
Miniatures
Bargellos
Kaleidoscopes

and several more!

Here is the link: http://www.quiltingboard.com/virtual_section_list.jsp

If you need the directions to get there on your own just click on Home then scroll down towards the bottom. You will see
All user defined sections click on that and it will take you to the list of sections.

You can choose to subscribe and you will create a list on the home page of the sections you want to keep up with.

There is lots and lots of great information on there for the areas of interest that you want to check out!!


The thing I like about it is you don't have to slog through a lot of posts to get to the subject you are interested in. All of the miniatures are in one place or all of the bargello threads are in one place etc.

Hope you take time to have a look!!

yes, I use them, thanks!

I look at the pictures.

I've been meaning to add this to the listing, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Now that I found them, I will use them

Hey Admin, thank you for posting the stats. I watched a lot for awhile. I wonder if people even know about these wonderful concentrated posts ;-)

I use them all the time. such a time saver! Thanks Admin.

I use them to help find specific topics :D:D:D

I didn't know about them. I'm somewhat computer illiterate.
Thanks for showing us how to get to them.

I really hadn't paid much attention to them until Billy mentioned it for the VS area. I have added some more since I followed the link you gave!

Dont' forget, also ... members can nominate categories for new Virtual Sections. They're for your interest and convenience, so we welcome your suggestions. :-)

thanks for the stats Admin. I appreciate it.

What about one for crazy quilts?
Thanks

Sounds like a good idea to me! Submit your idea to Admin or Patrice and see what they say. I would think it would be a great section. There are alot of crazy quilt threads on here.

Debra that is one of the reasons I did this thread. I wanted to remind people or let newbies know about it. I think it is a great source of inspiration.

Thanks for the reminder. I forget to go there. :thumbup:

I didn't even know about the virtual section thanks for the info.

I use them all the time, including yours! :) :) :) :thumbup:

I didn't even know about VS - now I know and I will use them. Thanks. Teresa

Knew it was there.. didn't know how to find it :oops:

THANKS for the info :thumbup:

I'm with Minda. I know there's a lot I don't know about and am learning slowly from posts like this one.

You're all welcome. Hope you all find lots of good ideas in the virtual section!!

Sorry...
I don't go there..
K

Gosh, I never knew theywere there! Thanks!

I don't think I've ever looked at that area. I really wasn't sure what user defined meant. Maybe if its renamed to virtual sections or something comparable that would invite people in. User Defined for me was a little scary (sortof like Star Trek - go where no man has gone before)! :lol: :lol: Sorry! :-D

so now you know what it is are you going to check it out?
All of my classes are in my Rhonda's Workshops and Classes section and all the miniatures threads are in the miniatures.There are alot of good ideas for example if you want to do the doll quilt swap.

Actually, I did venture in and look around!! Lots and lots of info there. Really a good thing!!! I think that after graduation and after my parents leave I'll have a lot more time to play and investigate. All I need is more ideas!! :shock:

I need to stop getting ideas and putting projects together in their prospective bins and start finishing up whats already UFO's or WIP. Trying to priortize projects right now. I have got one heck of a list of to-do's!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

That's why I'm up soooo early usually atleast 5am (even on weekends) so that I can play here, this is my only real me time right now. Then I get to jump back on periodically during the day for a fix!! :lol: :lol:

I agree Rhonda, the VS is one of the great additions that Admin made last year. I'm not sure we could keep up with the IRR or the Jane quilt without it!!!

Thanks, I'm still wondering around LOOKING. I appreciate everyone giving us keys to use.

THANKS FOR THE INFO....WILL USE IT.

I never even noticed this great resource. Thanks for posting Rhonda. I've subscribed.

Ditto here!

So glad you all are finding this great resource! It is such a wonderful way to organize information!

Anyone else have any good ideas for a section just contact Admin or Patrice with your ideas. It isn't hard to manage a section!

I didn't know this existed! Now I am subscribed to some of them. Thanks.

I use them. They are wonderful. I keep going back. Thanks.

Signed up for the Vintage Sewing thread

OMG! Didn't even know they existed. More time on the computer for awhile.

I'm with PSTONER. Glad you posted the virtual sections.

See - A different name is needed. User defined doesn't lend to what it is. Should we try to figure out a different name that says come on in?

I suggested to Admin some time ago that it would work better with a differant name but he was not wanting to change it.
I asked about having a link at the bottom of the page but it isn't possible because of the way the virtual part works. I don't understand how the virtual part works. I'm sure Admin can explain if you'd like to know.
I also think it is hard to find. That is why I posted this so people could be reminded it is there.
