I have been on this board for a fairly short time but have found myself pretty addicted to it. I started by checking out only the pictures so see what everyone was working on and to get ideas. Then it was the main topic and then the tutorial and the swaps and so on. I was checking them out just once a week and now I could spend hours just reading enjoying it all. First thing in the morning I'm on to see what I missed during the night; then I'm on while I watch my soaps and then again at night. Am I addicted? I'd rather stay here than vacuum or clean. Anyone else with this problem? Love to hear your story.

I use this board like a newspaper in the morning . . . with my coffee and a cookie... to wake up. Don't talk to me until I have coffee.
About an hour later I'm done surfing the net (here and other places) and I'm doing things around the house for an hour before I stop and get ready for work. I don't know how people get out of bed and head right to work...I need to wake up! :) |
I find myself checking here several times a day. I am don't go to a 9-5 job every day, so I am able to do that.
|
Yes. I enjoy checking in and catching up on posts I am following. I take advantage of my resting time to browse. It is funny how many times I stop sewing and go to the computer to search a question I have had. There is so much knowledge shared on this board and I take advantage of it every day. People are so willing to help and it is not just gab. What they say is the way it is! I am addicted and absolutely plan to stay that way./Regards, Dorothy

Too Much :oops: :oops: :oops:
Well now that I am not working even more 8-) LOL |
While unemployed I get to go every time I walk by the computer.
|
I am on the computer at work all the time and I check this site out way too often! I'm afraid of missing something I guess.
|
Each A.M, each P.M. and (shhhh----sometimes in between when I'm at work)
|
Too much! In the morning with coffee, after work while I rest a bit, and sometimes at night before bed, lol!
|
I spend alot of time here too..and I work..have 6 kids and I manage to quilt?? HMMMM
|
I was just thinking about that ?
I spend lots of time on this board, very addicting. I have learned alot! This is my # 1 quilting board site! Thank you admin and moderators for giving us this cool site. We love you! Karen "Craftybear" |
Also when I am fixing supper will come back to the computer while food is cooking!
|
Right now I should be putting away groceries... but I am here! (Who cares if the food defrosts... ha ha :twisted: )
|
Me too! I put laundry in the washer and come back here. While I'm waiting for dinner to come out of the oven, I'm surfing here. There's just so much to learn, to laugh about and to share. And I don't think I've ever met an unfriendly quilter. It's kind of like having a whole lot of pen
pals here. My sons wondered why I've never gotten on FaceBook or Twitter but this site is so much better than anything else. |
There is just soooo much to see, learn and read about here :D:D:D I would rather come here and read, than watch tv... :wink:
Waaaay better than Facebook or Twitter :D:D:D |
I spend way more time on here than I should!!! I could probably finish a quilt each week (or maybe even 2 or 3) for the amount of time I'm on here checking stuff!!!!
|
Too
|
Yep! All of the above mentioned times. I must get to the sewing machine and do some of the quilts that you'al have inspired me to dream about!
|
ditto,
|
Yep!! All the above! Just love you guys! :thumbup:
|
yep, all the above! So glad to get to know some fellow quilters (or lady quilters :))
|
I'm on here first thing in the am and after dinner each pm. Let's just say WAY TOO MUCH!!!
|
I love this site & not much to do at work so check out everything on here all day off & on Wkends I check in but quilt more LOL i have learned sooo much from all of you! woo hooo 8:)

|
I am here often as well, it is addicting as many say! I have found a wealth of information and enjoyment from comments and visiting the permanent topics. I do find I have to push myself away from the puter and do other things, like dinner and laundry! lol and SEW!!!
|
First thing in the morning, andf way too much during the day. I found this site when I was recoving from acute bronchitis and pneumonia in Feb., and I've been hooked ever since. I don't want to miss out on anything! I"m learning a lot of new technics, have seen beautiful quilts, but now I can't find the time to start my own!LOL
|
Way too much!!! I have an Ipod with WiFi at home so the first thing I do is check the board in the morning. I can clean, do laundry, wash and fold and put it away. Wash dishes, cook and eat, and even quilt with my Ipod in hand reading the board every couple of minutes. Here lately I have been trying to break the habit and do more quilting instead. Then at the end of the night I check it again then off to dream land.
|
I just discovered this site a couple weeks ago. I am trying to check out all the previously posted quilt pictures. That will take weeks. Butttt - so much is posted every day and I don't want to miss anything. I am learning so much from all the subjects brought up and am bookmarking a lot. ----- The rest of the family spent all day on the computer on games or surfing. Now I am in control of the mouse, most of the day and night.
|
Yep. She's got the bug.
I have to force myself not to turn on the computer first thing in the morning. On Sundays it's really tough (church). Get home at noon. You will be just fine. There is no known cure, so don't fight it. |
Well if this is a clue I got on here at 6 am left to do dishes and get coffee, sewed a block, and have not left since! I have a pizza in the oven and will sit and eat it out of this room. But I guess you could say I am addicted! Especially to mare stare and all the new posts that come in!! I am unemployed and bored to death, But am having a hard time quilting as I might miss something here!
|
The most time I spend on here I think is an hour but I come inbetween my breaks and have a look. I check the recent topic. I am always working on a quilt and would like to stay longer but then the quilting not get done. I am working on the colorful quilt now on block A and it is very involved. Has anybody tried this quilt. I will be posting to my blog as I work on it.
|
I just started using the board last week. I do love to look at the pictures for ideas. And I check all the wonderful comments that have been left about my moose. It is getting a little addictive.

I am on just about every day when I get home from work, and weekends, too. Only thing, I find it cuts into my quilting and reading time! What's a gal to do?
|
WAY, WAY too much time.
Sometimes as much as 3-4 hours in one sitting. |
Way to much, but i am addicted, I love to read the new post, and look at all the pretty quilts. Some days I only read once. But lately, well it's been 3 or 4 times a day.
|
Too much time I think - because I should be sewing when I'm spending time here - wonder how much more sewing I'd get done if I limited my time on here a little more.
But, it's so interesting and I've learned so much by reading the questions, answers and comments on this site and also had a few good laughs. So I figure it's time well spent! |
I check first thing in the morning, sometimes stay on maybe 2 hours. Then again around noon and then yet again before going to bed.
Yes, I would say addicted! :thumbup: |
Yes I am addicted. I spend a lot of time on here. I have learned so much and every one is very nice. I am retired so I can come on anytime.
|
I love it here. Lots of inspiration and fun. Plus, I've learned tons. I contribute my quilting obsession to you people! Thank you though! Keep up the good work! ;)
