Ditto...ditto...and DITTO!

I come here every day...and I leave smiling with a positive feeling under my wings about many things!

This really is a GREAT quilters community! My ex-hub hated my internet use. He actually thought the internet was just full of porn, lowlifes and virus'. I told him that you GET EXACTLY what you look for on the internet.

I used to work late at our local hospital. I'd often get home at midnight. Some people went out after work for drinks and partying Not me.. I'd come home to my faithful dogs...cozy home...and surf my quilting, gardening, cooking, craft websites to unwind. I loved it.

For me.. the internet is like the LIBRARY (full of friends) that NEVER closes. What more could you ask for?

What a nice post you wrote, love it! Having exes in my past, I can relate! Glad you are enjoying life now! So many of us don't have women friends living close by now, so boards like this, & internet friends, are really a lifeline to us all!

This is the first thing I do in the morning, then I feel I've had my fix for the day.

If it wasn't for this board I would be totally bonkers, not just a little. There is so much talent and beautiful things to see and ooh and awww over. I thank you all for the pictures and the talent.

sassey 10-23-2011 07:23 AM

I love this place also many days it is my only contact with the world outside of my home. So good to have so many friends that are here day or night

Connie in CO 10-23-2011 07:54 AM

I agree totally.Connie in CO

Sometimes I don't comment because I'm just re-fueling my mind. Thanks for the free fuel.

I love this place too. Of course, I would get more piecing done if I didn't love it so much. :D

Isn't that the truth! But if I didn't come to the board, I wouldn't have learned so much from all of you.
Thanks to you all! :thumbup:

Drew 10-23-2011 08:47 AM

I agree!

Thanks Nancy! That was also a sweet post back. I have found that not all quilter's boards are as friendly and warm as this place is. I don't hop on the internet to squabble or go to logger heads with someone who has a different opinion then I do. Variety is the spice of life! We can voice different opinions over something without turning into "dragons" when we do so.

I learned years ago that TYPING IN ALL CAPS does not make someone right. It just makes them appear LOUD and annoying. I occasionally type in caps when I'm very excited...but that's because I talk a lot with my hands... and my excited hand flappin' usually shows up in a post a CAPS. I was raised around a LOT of Italians...what can I say?? :lol:

johnnietate1225 10-23-2011 09:15 AM

Same here - I don't always comment because I am afraid you guys will think that's all I have to do - but, I truly enjoy the posts, comments, pictures and help!

swt1quilt 10-23-2011 09:19 AM

I don't post a lot, but I read this everyday. I started reading it months before I joined, it is my daily ritual now. Love it!

I make my coffee and oatmeal in the morning then settle in to read everything or almost everything on the Quilted Paadise Digest. My breakfat seams to go well while reading and looking at all the beautiful quilts and all the wonderful ideas to make. I just want to stay in my pjs and do nothing except sew. You all amaze me and because of you I have quilted two quilts in my 85 years and now working on making a twin quilt for myself. I just started quilting last year. I never saved the extra pieces but now I do and am going to do something with them A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO ALL to help this lonely widow have loads of friends.

franie 10-23-2011 09:52 AM

OH YES! total agreement!

Judaline Jane 10-23-2011 11:46 AM

The first thing I do in the morning is make a pot of coffee, turn on the TV, and turn on my MacBook to the QuiltingBoard. It is a great way to start my day.

grannypat7925 10-23-2011 11:48 AM

Definitely one of the highlights of my day!

rosiewell 10-23-2011 12:11 PM

I enjoy all the beautiful work, it keeps me humble! LOL

malega 10-23-2011 02:37 PM

I agree I love this QB.

JenelTX 10-23-2011 02:41 PM

I feel the same way! I don't get here as often as I'd like, but every time I do, my day is filled with joy. Thank you all!

BrendaK 10-23-2011 02:54 PM

Hi all, I have said this before buy it bears repeating, I am retired and sometimes don't go out of the house all day. But this board and all of the people I count as my friends are what keep me going. I love looking at all the pictures and reading what you all have to say. My problems are few, we all have them, you all help make my life worth while. THANK YOU ALL. I am shouting it to all of you. GOD bless and keep you all in his arms, no matter what you believe. BrendaK

diamondee 10-23-2011 03:10 PM

I love to see and hear about the quilts and some of the stories behind them. I look forward to getting home after work and settling down with a cup of tea and the quilting board. usually someone has already helped a person with a question by the time I get here, but that may be something I questioned myself and are happy to have answers and opinions. It's like visiting with friends everyday! The moderators do a great job at keeping it a nice place to visit.

MargeD 10-23-2011 03:27 PM

I agree - this is a great community of quilters. I'm so glad I found QB.

costumegirl 10-23-2011 03:31 PM

This is definitely a wonderful group!! It brings me lots of 'joy' too and I do utter lots of 'ahs' and 'ohs'!! I have learned so much from everyone here!!! Thank you!!

Alondra 10-23-2011 04:18 PM

I second that! Was just reading posts and thinking how in almost every single case, somebody comes to the rescue to answer someone else's (sometimes) desperate question. It's amazing and heart-warming.

Have to agree....I'm on here every day and get so much enjoyment from the posts and I LEARN so much!!...then I see someone's post that I totally agree with and so I do not always add my "two cents" worth. BUT rest assured...this place makes my day every day.

QandE2010 10-23-2011 06:46 PM

Makes my day, too. I don't feel like the day is complete unless I come online and get re-charged and encouraged.

Well said, what a great way to start the day.

fred liniger 10-23-2011 08:01 PM

It's nice to have a place to call home with friends that share the same interest. Older people might call the Q board family, we've never met. That is what we are (Family)and friends far a way. I have lots of friends far away i served in the mil. Havn't seen in 40 yrs. still they are thought of often. Some gave often.. Some gave all. Great Job to OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH and the aaaaaaaaaaaaaaHHHHHHHHHHHHH's YOU are APPREATED everyday. Thanks for all the help to O.People Love Ya All. Keep up the great work QB

BETTY62 10-23-2011 08:04 PM

I agree. Thanks everyone for making my evenings.

jlwheart 10-23-2011 08:25 PM

This board inspires, enlightens, surprises me and often makes me laugh. Thanks for so much joy!

katigirl 10-23-2011 11:19 PM

You're preaching to the choir girl.

Lynda Z 10-24-2011 11:23 AM

Its so enjoyable to see all the ideas and pitures of your work that sometimes I'm on for hours on end and don't even realize how time flies when your sharing with all of you. THANKS SO MUCH.
