This group is SO great that it needs to be said. EVERYTHING and anything can be discussed here, problems solved, not to mention the tutorials and SEEING so many works of art. I have learned alot here, been given inspiration and met many many new friends. It is so cool being able to see quilts from quilt shows, and finding the closest fabric stores and new "deals" being offered.
The ONLY problem with this site is............that......................I am ON IT TOO LONG AND OFTEN! :oops:
So thank you everyone and I for one am very greatful I found it........by the way - where has Eddie been???? I miss hearing and seeing his quilts!!

It's pretty rockin' to be here, isn't it? :D

Granna of 5 08-05-2010 05:06 AM

It does give me inspiration when I really don't want to finish a project, and all the new idea's I get from here makes me want to make every one. I spend way too much time here and love every minute of it. I am so glad I found it.

jamh 08-05-2010 05:07 AM

It is pretty awesome here, but wouldn't it be better if we ALL lives in one place like a private cummunity!! LOL All you could hear is the sewing machines!! But I love this site, It is by far my favorite!! :) :) :)

cjomomma 08-05-2010 05:08 AM

Eddie has been on here. He posted a quilt the other day and has left comments on other posts.
I have to agree this is the best forum!!!

buslady 08-05-2010 05:20 AM

Speaking as a newbee and one with an addictive nature, I spend WAYYYYYY too much time on here, but LOVE IT! Just looking for the right avatar. Love to look at everyones work.

quiltbugs 08-05-2010 05:26 AM

I'd get twice as many quilts made if I wasn't on here so much. :-)

heather1949 08-05-2010 05:43 AM

sueisallaboutquilts 08-05-2010 05:59 AM

Ditto for all the other comments :D

dphelps 08-05-2010 07:36 AM

I am on here way too much also. But I have to say, I would not be here lurking around if I did not love this Board. I feel as though we all know a little about each other and have a common bond - quilting. DAH! I too have learned so much and have found so may more sites on line as a result of all of you here. I have passed on as much as I can to others and I am even bringing my ex-mother-in-law in. Once we move, I hope she and I will quilt together.The tips and knowledge I have gained here is immense. Thanks to you all.

But on the other hand, doesn't it inspire you to try more, more, more......? Love having my morning tea with you all! :thumbup:

dseale40 08-05-2010 08:03 AM

I am a new quilter, unfortunately can't be on all of the time, work gets in the way. Still mostly read and not to many replies. BUT I have learned a lot from here. I really enjoy the way everyone seems to be so open and willing to share their knowledge.

littlehud 08-06-2010 05:57 AM

This is such a fun place to visit. I love it here.

Tweety2911 08-07-2010 04:17 AM

Spend way too much time also, but wouldn't trade it for the world. All of you have inspired and challenged me with your great quilts, advice, ideas, tutorials and even recipes. Thank you all for "great" time.

finch 08-07-2010 04:24 AM

I love getting up each morning with my coffee and reading evrything from our newsletter.I miss that crazy Marsye.Is she sick or something??I just love reading her replies.She is so funny.

Tinabodina 08-07-2010 05:13 AM

I have to say also, it is WONDERFUL! Like you, I am on here to long and almost every day.

Stitchnripper 08-07-2010 05:16 AM

I love this board too, for all the reasons above, and in addition the way it is organized. I go to other boards and get frustrated with how to follow a thread. Thanks to admin and all the others who make it an easy read.

mar32428 08-07-2010 05:38 AM

I love this board. Yeah, I could spend more time doing housework etc. but why? I have learned so much since I joined. You are real people and talk about real things like messy rooms and lousy quilts and stupid mistakes. It's the first place I didn't feel that I had to be perfect or try to compete. You are all a wonderful support team. God Bess You for the time and help you give. There's a special quilt heaven for all of you.

quilt crazee 08-07-2010 05:46 AM

When I tell friends, about this site-- I tell them it's FACEBOOK for quilters, only BETTER. Everyone is so postive & nice. And the site is so educational! LOVE IT!!!

jackiesmith 08-07-2010 05:58 AM

This site is the best! I have my morning coffee with all of you. Sometimes my lunch. Sometimes my snack..... Way too much time here, love it though.

grammyj 08-07-2010 06:07 AM

Oh yes I'm on here way to much too, but I love seeing all the beautiful quilts and bags that every one makes. Get lots of information and problems solved. Every one is so nice and helpful and it would be good to live in a village of quilters.

damaquilts 08-07-2010 06:35 AM

This board is my down time. If the pups are sleeping I can't make noise cleaning now can I? So I grab a cup of tea or coffee and sit down and read. Even if I should be getting ready to go to adoptions. lol

ClairVoyantQuilter 08-07-2010 06:38 AM

It really IS a wonderful community. Thank you, everyone :)

kittyquilt 08-07-2010 06:44 AM

Quiltbugs, Where in PA do you live? I am in south central PA, just off turnpike, NE ext. exit 74.

Shemjo 08-07-2010 06:55 AM

I also spend way too much time on this board. But, it is sew much fun and usually doesn't cost me anything but time!

ksea 08-07-2010 06:56 AM

A quilters cult, what better place to live, and we would all get more done cuz we could chat face to face and quilt at the same time!!! LOL But seriously, if a cult exist please someone let me know, only requirement is that I would have to be able to see my family occasionally.

Pat and pups 08-07-2010 07:20 AM

Here too much? Nooo. I'm here just right. One of the reasons I'm enjoying this group is that I'm reading ways to solve problems or make things and telling myself "I know that." I love to be right! LOL But the things I'm learning are the greatest value. Thank you to all of you experienced quilters for helping me!

DITTO but it is so addictive you can't get away everyone is so nice, this is by far the best forum I have ever been on. thanks everyone for making it fun, and thanks to whoever started this forum

El'sgrandma 08-07-2010 07:46 AM

I agree. You can learn so much here.

klgreene 08-07-2010 09:11 AM

You took the words right out of my mouth.....I should be cleaning.....it's 11:10 am already, and I am still on here reading all the messages. I love it. I won't clean this afternoon, I save that time for quilting. Thanks everyone for all your ideas, pictures, tuts, everything. I wish I was 20 years younger, because I know I won't get all the things done I want to in this lifetime. Maybe I'll come back as a sewing machine....

I am so happy to hear you have a job.

This site rocks.

grannyp70 08-07-2010 09:34 AM

Hello everyone, yes it would be really great if we all lived close together and quilted together. I don't have anyone near me to quilt with, my closetest quilting friend is in Houston, Tx 5 hours away. so needless to say I do what little bit of quilting by myself. I can't get out much any more have DH that can't do anything anymore he is confined to home so my getting out is limited. But I do really enjoy reading all of you'all s post and it gives me a lot of company, don't have anyone close by to come visit so its just me and DH and my little dog banban. You all really make my days its like all of you come to visit. Hope all of you have a great weekend. Grannyp70

Friendly Quilter 08-07-2010 09:48 AM

Nancy, I could not agree more. I love this sight, I know you bugged me for so long to start talking and sharing on this sight. But this is the one sight that people answer you. I feel like I am really talking to a group of people. I love this sight. Now the trouble is trying to get me to shut up, but as you know me I don't think that will happen.

What is EXTRA about it, that we learn about so many different subjects, not just quilting! Im glad that you are participating!! But - I STILL am on-line wayyy too much!

:lol:

texas granny 08-07-2010 10:13 AM

I agree with all of the above post about being here way to much. But I have to also say this place has got me back into the sewing room if even if its to make siggy or a block someone else needs.

What a great idea!! Sort of like a retirement village but for quilters only. Let's DO it!
