This site seems to be rather addictive. I love seeing the new projects everyone is working on or finished with.

I definitely agree with you and others on this board. I try to be a little picky about what I read now because it can be so time consuming and I have enough trouble getting time to sit at the sewing machine or to get another project going. But it's soooo addictive and interesting here (and educational too). What's a person to do?

Deb, your hired, wonderful idea. I bet you could make a great tutorial for us new ones.

You are right about the site being 'addictive', it takes on a whole new meaning! Who will share the tutorials they are looking at-with me? : )

Yea I love looking at the board but in the last couple of months I've had to make a concious decision not to open the message board but I've saved all the previous messages so I can look at them when I have more time.

Just read two pages of 'recent posts' or one page of a section (like Photos, for instance) and call it a day. Can't read it all. If you try to do it, you'll go bananas.

Pat, For the last two weeks I have thought the very same. I love this site however, can't keep up but love it and keep coming back. I am surprised I got any xmas baking done. Merry Quilt reading.

It is wonderful, Thanks everyone for all Info. I joined in Nov also and I am overwhelmed.

I love that you said this. This basically what I do. If the title catches my eye, I'll click, read, and respond.

My question: do you feel that you should respond to everything you read? I worry that I'm lurking if I just read and move on without responding.

Pictures & tutes for me, but I can't stay away from any of it. As a result my bedtime keeps getting later & later.

I try to read most, reply to a few hopeing no one mines my 2C's.. but there are times I need to be sewing and may not be on for a day or so, then I just skim through because of the amount of postings..Am I bad...

Many many things I don't have a clue about either, but I feel that is the way I learn. So I try to read those too.

I can't go a day without reading....or writing down all the patterns I want to do. I have so many notes on my desk for patterns, ideals and sites. I will never get through all of them, but keep them coming. My day is made by reading this board. Of course if I really get into it that is my day.LOL

I spend way too much time here and then follow rabbit trails... which can lead to spending money if I'm not careful. So much fun, tho...

me too. it's like the song: ONCE A DAY, ALL DAY LONG.

Today, the snow has started. So much to do and so little time...

Too funny :D :D :D :D :D

I have the same problem - I want to look at everything. But, what I do is look at night during the 10:00 PM news. (DH watches and I just listen.) Yes, many times I'm still sitting here until midnight or later. I don't want to get left behind. There are so many interesting posts and the photos are spectacular. My problem is, what will I do when I'm gone for a few days during the holidays?

Finding a computer where you're going doesn't help....cause you can't read the board in 5 mins.Just think how much you'll have to read when you get back :-)


"My problem is, what will I do when I'm gone for a few days during the holidays?"

I just get the newsletters twice a week and see what pops out at me. I will check the recent toppics every so often. After a while it does get a little crazy. I try and use search a lot more so I am not double posting. Once you get used to the site, you know how to navigate a bit better. I could do this all day long instead of working :-)
