Sorry for my impatience
 

When the board was first changed I was very fustrated because I couldn't log on and out of fustration sent a complaint. I was very unhappy with the situation and in thinking about it I feel really bad for being so strong in what I said. I don't remember exactly everything I said I just remember thinking about it now that I shouldn't have been so hasty in saying what I did. Now I would like to say that I am very sorry and will never do that again. I love this board, I learn something new every time I am here and it's my favorite thing to do on my lunch hour. I have been very motivated lately and am still working on getting my sewing and quilting rooms organized. I made a beautiful wall hanging for my Sister for her birthday and it was beautiful. It was one of the Stonehenge wall hangings with the Poinsetta on it. I put it together and quilted it on my long arm. My sister loved the wall hanging but the fact that I finally finished something and it was for her made her even happier. Thanks to all of you for being so talented and encouraging to those of us who are going through things. I lost my sweet husband 4 years ago and it has taken me this long to get my interest back after losing him. Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year to all of you.

I'm sure we've all said something in haste that we've later regretted. Congratulations on finishing your wall hanging, it feels great when you complete a project, doesn't it?

Merry Christmas to you and your family


changes is going to happen whether we want it to or not...so just wait the storm out...things usually turn out okay. :)

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Glad you found your way back home. Enjoy the board.

apology accepted, you are forgiven! I too am guilty of hasty judgments at one time or another (or several) we all live and learn

It was (and to a certain extent, still is) very frustrating when the new format was put in place.

But - it seems easier to learn (or try to learn) how to use it than to continue to moan and groan about it.

I am so glad you stuck it out! Learning new things is always challenging, and often frustrating. The Board is great, isn't it? Would love to see what you made. Attach a pic, please.

Your apology is accepted, although I've forgotten everything that you said. I, too, was frustrated at first with the change.
Change is hard. Glad to hear that you are getting back into quilting and have completed a project. Grief sometimes lingers for a long time, it never goes away, just gets a little easier to cope with. Hope you and yours have a blessed Christmas and New Year, and know that your loved one is watching and is glad to see that you are getting back to the things that you enjoyed in the past.

Great email! I too am working on my sewing space - slowly - but I think it will be wonderful when done. I bet your sister loves her wall hanging. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

It was frustrating at first. I think we have all settled down. Some of the new features are quite an improvement. The best feature ... its free!

I was frustrated too and still am because it seems that I am not getting emails telling me about the quiltboard. Now each time I want to come on it, I have to scroll down to an old one or bookmark it. I will survive though and be happy to be on it. I am proud of you for finishing your wall hanging. Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a Happy and productive new year.

I am still trying to figure thing out here but I love it enough to keep trying.

I think we all got frustrated with the thought of change. Glad we all stuck it out. A lot of friendships to be made anda lot of quilting knowledged to be shared and learned.

I know just how you felt. tho I didn't voice my opinion.
I don't like change and didn't like the thought of haveing to find my way around a new site, but it is very much like a couple of other sites i am on so the change wasn't to hard to cope with. infact I rather like the new site now.

We've all been there! Glad u stuck it Out. I'm glad your quilting again. Sorry about your husband

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! I'm VERY guilty of speaking out in haste so don't feel like you are alone. ;)

no need to appologise, I am sure we all had some issues, with this new board, still getting use to some things.
Merry Christmas and Much Happiness in the coming year

Welcome back!! Show us your sister's wallhanging, it sounds really interesting with Stonehenge fabrics and a poinsetta. Merry Christmas to you!

Don't be too hard on yourself, we've all done the same thing at some time. Would love to see your wallhanging, I love the Stonehenge fabrics. Bless you this Christmas.

My husband passed away 7 years ago, and it also took me a long time to get back into quilting. Sorry for your loss. Quilting now again has become my peaceful time. It always feels good to finish something. I also have a hard time with change, especially since my husband passed away.
Hope you and your family have a very merry Christmas.

Okay, I totally abhorred the new site. Now, it is beginning to feel more like the old board and I am grateful. I love being able to get things ie pictures, links in order. For awhile everything was such a mishmash. I am glad I kept trying and finally became comfortable.

Hope you're able to make great quilts and enjoy the process now that the dust has settled.

It took me a while also to learn my way around the new board,but I really love it just took a while like you said most things turn out OK in the end. Merry Christmas to all and have a safe and Happy New Year also.

Merry Christmas to you. I have several widow friends and know this is a very hard time of the year for you. I am glad you are enjoying the board again. I am rather new so the changes did not seem to bother me much. I just love all the things I learn each time I log on.

I think it is very admirable that you are apologizing for what you said. I too felt frustrated with the changes, and I am still not very proficient at manoevring the website, but I'm getting there. The fact of what you've been through, and that you don't have a partner to vent your frustrations with, and also the fact that going on the board is a big part of your day (lunch hour), I can certainly understand anything you might have posted. Personally, I did not read your post, that I know of, so I don't know exactly what you said, but as far as I'm concerned, we need to forgive one another unconditionally. Thanks for your transparency.

No worries....it was not an unshared sentiment. Change is a difficult thing to swallow sometimes.

In the past couple months....since October I guess, I`ve finished four quilts ( sandwiched, quilted and binding)...I made a rag quilt for my DSS for Xmas , and pieced two more large quilt tops...alll because i kept off the quiltboard a lot....lol so aLL THE CHANGES worked out pretty good for me....ha ha ha only thing I didn`t appreciate was being slapped on the fingers and getting a warning because I post something in the wrong place....anyways we alll had frustrations over the changes but I think we are getting used to things.....you are one amongst many....a very inspiring place to come to.....Merry Xmas to you abd yours

I often speak before I think. I am still not comfortable with the new board. I feel I am missing so much that I use to see in the old one.

So glad to hear that you are motivated to get your sewing/quilting rooms organized and finished your sister's wall hanging. I don't recall seeing your post about the frustration on the board but I think we all have had to find our way around the site. It is just like sewing/quilting- sew a little- rip a lot- get it right- all done-yeah. New things are sometimes challenging but worth it. Grief is such a personal thing but I am glad you got your interests back in doing things you enjoy. Coping does get better with time and the memories will carry you through. Merry Christmas to you and your family! Please post the pic of the wall hanging. We would love to see it.

hey,i am in the same boat,concerning the new format.glad that it is now much easier to peruse than it was earlier.

When I found the Board had changed, I sent a complaint about it and then quit coming to it. But I missed it and thought I would try it again today. I love the new view that has incorporated the old view, too. Thanks for putting it back to the subject sections. I love it.

guilty that's me I to grumbelt about the new board but learned to navigate. I want to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a blessed and prospers New Year.

I do not remember reading your post per se, but I too was frustrated about the new changes. I still have trouble finding things a second time. You are forgiven of any tresspass you feel you committed. Changes are always stressful.
Glad you were able to get back to your passion. Love to see a pic of your sister's quilt.
Merry Christmas. Enjoy as much of the holidays as you can.

I had trouble at first also,but now I think it is better.I know what you feel.I lost my Hubby 6 years ago,before that we went through over 2 years of tests.different treatments and finally he said enough I am tired,it was hard to accept.He was my first and only love.My soul-mate.I think my quilting has let me go through this.Holidays are bad especially Christmas.He loved Christmas.A friend lost her hubby 3 months before mine and in Nov.she told me she wished we had a time machine to just fast forward to Jan.1st.

I, too, was ready to quit at first, although I didn't send any complaints. But I reminded myself, that after 25 yrs of working with computers where programs were a constant change, I could weather this. Gave myself a few weeks and guess what? Here I am. Change can be good.

Wow, you have my respect for coming back here and speaking of your frustration. I bet you said what many of us were thinking. Thank goodness we all weathered the storm and are better for it. Merry Christmas to you and yours. God
Bless!

It was frustrating to figure out the new board. Glad you are back. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Now I need to get off here and go finish my brother's quilt. haha

As our former pastor says, " The only person who likes change is a baby with a dirty diaper!" Welcome back.
