I call it my online quilt group. I am trying to get my quilting friends to sign up as they are missing all the fun!

Is it a support group- but I already belong to one to soothe my soul (lost my brother to suicide). When I think of a support group it's not really this group... I'm certainly not hurting when I'm here (except for peals of laughter and the tears from too much laughing).

And it's certainly not the support I need to keep my buying habits at bay... that's enabling and there's enough of that here- I have to be strong not to buy.

So what are we? Need a name for it- fun filled group of people sharing a common interest in quilting and all the internet has to offer lumped in one website. Can there be one word for it????

I refer to us as the quilting board.

Is that a nice word or not? What was your mother's mood when she called you a huzzie?

She's usually laughing her A@@ off! She gets a kick out of it. :lol: :lol: Did I tell you I took after my 74 year old mother? hahahhaa A couple of days ago her and I went to Walmart. When we hit the door she usually goes her way and I go mine and then we meet back at the van. Well when I got to the check out she was 2 ahead of me in the same line. She wrote a check and they asked her to sign the little machine thing. She said how do I do that? She tried using her finger and the clerk handed her the pen. She still didn't know what to do with it. :lol: She didn't know I was in line so I hollered "thats my mother, we don't let her out of the house very often!!" She looked up and yelled back at me "shut up you huzzie" :lol: Everyone all around was cracking up. So you see...I get it honest. :wink:

Marsye,your'e adorable. I love you and your humor.You make my day.

I can relate to you. I am also disabled, short on quilting friends nearby, do not drive (age is creeping up). So my greatest pleasure is my quilting, beading, and watercoloring. I love this site and all of the friends on it.

ooooohhhhhh I like QB Friends.......

I refer to it as "The On-Line Quilt Board" and I refer to you guys alot!

The quiltingboard to me has been a level playing field.
A place where people listen to what I have to say and respond on my subject rather than interrupting me in the middle of a sentence and changing the topic to whatever they were thinking about at that moment in time.
A place where the people I exchange thoughts and information with have a common interest and seem to 'care' about what I have to say and think.

Your answer sums it up. I need help to post a question maybe someone the board can help this "quilt friend" figure out how to do so. Remember someone special today.

"I saw a cute idea for a quilt on, ... um, ... that quilting forum, you know, the board that I always like to read that has people from Everywhere on it, all skill levels, love to share and show."

When I say this, my fam knows what I'm talking about.

I always call it the Quiltingboard and call all of you "quilty ladies" (even though I'm not sure all of you ARE ladies :oops: :lol: :lol: :lol: ....just kidding!!!!)
