I was beginning to have withdrawal symptoms :lol:

yeahhhhhhh!!!!! lol just a few mins ago

ME TOO!!!!

Mee tooo!! I kept watching the clock. I am trying to make the Bow tuck purse and that tut has been just out of reach! Now to see where I went wrong...

I was very productive while QB was down. I took my daughter to the airport and sent her off on her deployment to Afghanistan, came back to her apartment and cleaned the whole thing and did 2 loads of laundry. I picked my sewing machine up from the hospital on the way home so at least I'll be able to sew!

Well, did anyone get anything accomplished? I continued to Machine Quilt on my current UFO. It seems like the cross- hatch grid keeps growing. Two more rows to complete it, but I've said that a dozen times already. Yikes!

I was really productive as well but I was refreshing for the last five minutes waiting to see when it would come back up! ;)

I don't think I could have stood it another minute! Whew!

WEll I did get my sons curtains done and played solitaire till I am sure I will see cards in my sleep!

I really didn't think I was THAT addicted to this site, but it's been a long day without QB !!

Me either!

Me either!

About all I did was keep checking to see if they had it back up and running yet. Boy was I glad to see it back up.LOL

Oh gosh I thought I was gonna die! It seemed like forever. I didn't get anything done.

I missed it so much I had to post twice! LOL!!

I worked on a king quilt for my daughter. However, can't spend too long at a time on that.

Oh, thank God I made plans to meet a client at the quilt store this morning. I would have been Jonesing without the QB.

I took a nap!!! I haven't been sleeping as well with a new puppy in the house & boy, that nap felt good!!!

R U serious??? Same here but I was afraid to tell anyone lol :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Me too! I kept checking and checking!!

Me too :-D

Glad you are back, I missed you at lunch today while I was at work. Withdrawal over.

Glad you are back, I missed you at lunch today while I was at work. Withdrawal over.

ditto...I clicked on it this afternoon and it wasn't up; I wondered what I was going to do this evening!!! LOL

I'm guilty as well. Hadn't realized how much I check on the board until it was down!

I just realised I missed it altogether! Silly me. Cleaned up the kitchen. My chef would put "uglycook" to shame!

Way too funny! I checked once this morning and gave up till just now. I used the time to take an on-line course in something non-quilting and finished 4 lessons. Shows me how much time I w- spend on the board!

Yep, I'm ADDICTED !!!! I don't know how many times I checked. LOL

Went back to finish the last two rows of quilting on UFO and found 6 more. Boo!

I made the mistake and went shopping. Costly but fun.

MEEE TOOO....glad it is up and running.....phewwwww

I was having withdrawal symptoms too! Gosh are we ever a bunch of addicts!

From 10 to 1 PM, I worked on 4 totes, then kept checking to see if it was back up. Didn't really get up and running for me until about 2:30!!!

haa haa, I was it went down for maintenance, and got a nice relaxing nap :) felt great!

I'm just sew glad we're all back together again. I was having separation anxiety. All better now. Ahhhh.

I had a sorta productive day, for me. I limped up the lane with my bag of trash, a bag of compost material from the kitchen and a bag of stale bread for her chickens. Some of them are old hens that I kept for my daughter for a year and a half while they got their new house built, one, a silky seems to have a ruptured crop and we didn't think she would live long, so now all the rest of the flock are gone except her and a speckled hen who is one of the originals. It is always fun for me to throw scraps for the chickens. Put compost stuff on her garden area, limped back and read my electric meter, something I dread, especially this winter and came in sent my reading flying away on the web and proceeded to start fixing a real dinner, for a change. Oh, and somewhere in between other chores, I finished quilting a table runner for my youngest daughter.

Have to confess, after I put dinner in the oven, I checked and the board wasn't back up yet and it was over the time frame, even considering we are 3 hours later than Pacific time and I had an awful thought: What if they just told us they were going to do maintenance and they decided to give the board up and this is it...no more quilting board. I did not want to do any more thinking after that awful though, so got busy again. Can you just imagine?

I wasn't kidding!! I had to take DD to the Dr. and thought well I will be alright til I get home but the office had Wi-Fi and I was on til the board shut down. When I got home I kept checking to see if it was back up.

It ended up being 20 more rows. But that is done. Now to trim strings, then add binding. Almost done and I can see daylight. :-D

So how did you use your spare time? :lol:
