I had a placemat class today and that is why I just now got on. I was having withdrawal and almost connected with my iPhone.
|
I agree, I read and look at the board get all energized then can't figure out where to start. Oh well - it is great fun!
|
I love the kitten with the earphones!!! Just love it!
Now, I realize there are addictions which are truly life threatening, demoralizing, and tragic, so I mean no disrespect here when I talk about addiciton. However, I feel a thoughtless need to buy fabric when I'm in such a store. I must look like I'm slinking around the place. Am I out of control or what???? |
I think I need a self-help group to get me off
this addiction. Some time in the future. Maybe. |
I don't get anything done. tell my husband I am going to check my e-mails and am on here for another 2 hours. Go to bed at night . Start thinking whats new on the board. get up tell him I will be right back and than its 2 or 3 am. whats wrong with us!!! anyone got an answer. Never had so much fun on my computer!! I have several disc. filled with pit of quilts I want to do.----------and keep filling them. Just love this site

And with an addiction like this, just think , I live next door to my LQs/ local quilt store.

guilty as charged here lol

OMG LOL

I'm lov'in this board but between this one and 1 other I go to I'm not getting anything done. I was reading the "UFO Challenge of the Month 2010" form and thought that is what I need to do--not happening, I'm here to much!!!! So tomorrow I'm going to TRY (you see I said try) to get control of my time on the computer--wish me luck I'm going to need it. :) I like quilting best well maybe as well as my line dancing. During the day of course I come back and catch up on the latest posts on both sites and sometimes add my two or three cents worth. I have to try all the things you show pictures of and of course that takes more time away from house work. I have a very wonderful husband who will take over when the house gets to messy. MNM |
That is what i do also but .... i seem to still look at the laptop not what i am supposed to be working on lol

Me too but I am border line addicted but quilting is my choice of how to spend my time. Like you, I too am retired, married 46 years but only have 2 children and 7 grandchildren, am a hand quilter by choice and they all want and enjoy Grammy's quilts whenever they get one. Every time I sit down to watch TV, a quilt is in my hands and that's ok. While hand quilting a quilt there is also one in some stage of progress - planning or piecing or both. Enjoy and this group is great!

I am becoming a permanent fixture at our local quilting shop and by the way.....I am a newbie who only ever hand quilted but i bought a new Viking last year and guess what i started this week? You guessed it...My first machine quilted piece and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!LOL Thanks to you folks, all of your encouragement to other quilters and all of the ideas you share. Now I can say I am truly retired doing what I love to do best. Isn't that what retirement is?
|
I love this board too! All the quilting family on board.
Everyone shares such wonderful stories and ideas! Love it! |
We are all addicted. I always tell myself I'm just going to look, not post any replies. Well, that NEVER happens. Oh well, there is always tonight while Honey is watching TV
|
I have to get up at 3 am to get ready for work and here I sit. Then I'll come in here before I get ready for work
|
If I have a bit of time at work to check in here, I often share tidbits with the gals. They love to see the pix of quilts, and kids, and furbabies, and enjoy the humour on here that I share with them. No sewers there, but they are always ready for show and tell every time I have something new to show.

This site is like having all of you sitting at my table and having a cup of coffee/tea and munching on sweets and talking, talking, talking. You are my neighbors, friends, teachers, strong shoulders, a crying pillow, and angels. Thank you thank you thank you. God bless.

Thanks to all of you for time well spent.
Talk about addicted. I can also loan you these guys. They will make sure you take lots of breaks from the computer. |

Every ten minutes or so I come back to the computer, just to check if I got any important messages. I don't like a messy inbox! So I read what is there and note what is important and delete what is not, like the newspaper!!!! Then when everything is read, I delete that - clean inbox! Then about 1/2 hour later, I do the same thing - messy is as messy does! So, I AM NOT ADDICTED - I AM JUST NEAT!!!!!!! Edie

Plus it has broadened my list of friends because I have felt friendship from many of you and have learned the joy of sharing what I have with others. This board is great therapy!!! So enjoy and don't feel guilty that you're doing something good for yourself.

Yep. Here I sit on the computer. Not at the sewing machine...

I DID IT! I stayed away from the board allllllll dayyyy! It is now 9:52 pm and I'm just now checking in....I knew I could do it...now lets see how long I can hold out tomorrow...
|
All of our friends are here...ok...we may have a few others not here but this is the site that inspires, shares and loves me even when I goof up...BFF all of you and so blessed to have this board.
Thanks to all my quilting buddies and this wonderful addiction...it is great!! |
Hi just interested what other site do you go on? Or maybe this might be a mistake for me LOL
Margaret |
I love this site and all you people on here!! I spend WAY too much time here, tho!!!
|
That's easy enough, DON'T TURN IT ON!
|
It is surprising when you think JUST A FEW MINUTES and before you know it an hour has gone by. I try to check the site 2 times a day. First thing in the morning, lunch time then in the evening when DH watches his shows on TV. I must say that this is an addiction I can live with. Thank you for being here when I need it.

Paulette, that is brilliant. Hi my name is Cynthia and I am a quilting board addict too. Ü I too spend a lot of time on here and I have learned so much even though I don't post very often. I am new to quilting and I have learned so much that I can use in all the little details that make a quilt great. All because of great people like all of you on here. Thanks to everyone. |
All I have to say is I missed you guys when we were on vacation ;]
|
oh my gosh.. I spend way too much time here.. I'm here when I should be sleeping.. I love to sit and read all that post and sometimes that means I'm up into the wee hours of the night.. I've got to stop.. but just hate to turn off the computer.. all you wonderful people out there have so many interesting things to talk about..
