madamekelly 07-24-2011 11:41 AM

I only check facebook to keep in touch with family.

Tweety2911 07-24-2011 12:04 PM

Ditto:-)

lheizen 07-24-2011 12:08 PM

totally :)

Yes, addictive but also helpful and useful - a wonderful source of inspiration and guidance.

akisan 07-24-2011 02:14 PM

I could spend hours reading the topics, then I go into the tutorials and spend more time in there. Better than gabbing on the phone.

Sandra in Minnesota 07-24-2011 02:46 PM

I would rather learn from this site than drama from Facebook.

incoming2me 07-24-2011 02:53 PM

Most definitely!

Jersey Gal 07-24-2011 03:29 PM

Yes it is. Fun, and educational.

I'm a Facebook drop-out. I don't think I'd ever want to drop QB. :thumbup:

I devote entirely too much time to this site, but I really enjoy it. I occasionally check our facebook--mainly for pictures that have been posted.

jansquiltn 07-24-2011 05:02 PM

I frequently sit in the bed just before we turn out the lights typing away. My husband thought i was on facebook until he pulled over my phone and saw that i was looking at quilts. Oh!!!!!! So now he just says are you looking at sewing stuff??? Again????? Hahaha.

wanda lou 07-24-2011 05:10 PM

yep I agree.

I agree. I only check my Facebook page about once a month if that, but I'm on here every day.

yellowsnow55 07-24-2011 05:31 PM

I totally agree. Step 1 Quilting Board, step 2 e-mails, step3 facebook, providing I haven't disappeared into my sewing room after step 1.

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!!!!! :thumbup:

Ginny B 07-24-2011 06:14 PM

Absolutely! I spend more time here now that on Facebook. So much to look at and read about. Love it!

Grambi 07-24-2011 06:42 PM

I don't check Facebook often, but always read as much of the board as I can.

sew1 07-24-2011 08:27 PM

This site is wonderful for inspiration. Sometimes just seeing gets me on the road again.

Same here! I thought it was just me.

Lucky Patsy's 07-24-2011 08:40 PM

It is why I have a closet full of ufo's instead of a closet full of quilts!

That's why I joined FB...cuz my kids were on there and I wanted to know more about what was going on in their lives. I'm glad I'm on FB but with more than 20,000 QB members, (maybe even 30000), there is always something going on here! So, yes, more happens here...

But I like FB. They are completely different. I've tried to vow to spend more time sewing than reading here...

atvrider 07-25-2011 04:42 AM

This is a great site. I don't like to spend to much time on the computer but once I arrive here, it's hard to leave.

BarbZ 07-25-2011 07:14 AM

I DESCRIBE THIS SITE AS A FACEBOOK FOR QUILTERS. LOVE IT

callie 07-25-2011 09:36 AM

FB is too discombobulated for me. Love this site - lots of info, good people, wonderful place for ideas and to share, look at all the beautiful quilts people make - great place to connect with other people who have same interest.

I so agree -- this site has cut into my quilting time. I love looking at the wonderful quilts -- and learning from everyone.

M.I.Late 07-25-2011 08:37 PM

Since I started this site, I think my facebook faded away. I'm never on there anymore. I was getting too many of those game notices anyway. Farmville etc. Yuk!

maxtruax32 07-26-2011 05:51 AM

What site are you referring to?

maxtruax32 07-26-2011 05:54 AM

Gotta run Will check in later.

mojo11 07-26-2011 12:37 PM

Yes. it is.

Another plus for this site is that we can actually LEARN things! (But I do enjoy Facebook too!).

I agree with you there. I only do one thing on Facebook then come right here to see what great things to find and learn.

ging10ging 08-03-2011 02:46 PM

I'm not crazy about Facebook. I would prefer it if someone sends me an e-mail it's much more enjoyable. I love this board and am deffinately addicted I s/b sewing more instead of playing and then there is The Housework I need a maid. Sue
