You said it. I look up and so much time has gone by. Maybe I need to set an alarm clock.

I keep telling myself I have to "earn" time on the board but working on my UFO's - well.........it's not really working for me! :D

I've been trying to give myself a time limit. But then I get interested in something and don't want to stop. Lately I've been watching the mares, saw one live fowling birth, along with the eagles, mama, papa, and their three eggs, hatching and now watching them grow with the 24/7 live cams.

I can't seem to drink my coffee in the morning without the Board. I also use it for breaks during the day.

sueisallaboutquilts 04-25-2011 05:51 AM

Oh I hear you!!!!!!!!! I love this place and I guess I'll have to write a note to be seen after I'm gone:
Sorry there aren't too many quilts but the ones I've seen are gorgeous!! hahahaha
Hugs, Sue

fraydknot12326 04-25-2011 06:16 AM

Oh, I know what you all mean! :lol: I've been thinking we need an audio version *vbg* so we could quilt while enjoying the board, too. :lol: Of course, with several daily breaks from sewing to view all the wonderful creations!! :D

CarrieAnne 04-25-2011 06:29 AM

So true!

TShooters 04-25-2011 06:59 AM

Amen to that! Start off my morning with reading posts and my latte....and then am startled to find out an hour has passed me by!

I wonder what i used my pc before finding QB because now i only find myself flipping pages between email and QB to read comments on feedback DH always asking what's you reading Frankie :) OR he can hear little laugh from me and ask what's funny:) honestly this page is very addictive but in a good way i have finished a few project since finding QB:) it's very encouraging specially for new quilters my coffee usually gets cold because i get so involve reading one comment to another :)

Doc has ordered my to take complete rest for at least two days because I take a blood thinner and he doesn't want me to bleed. Sure beats solitaire.

capucine 04-26-2011 03:44 AM

OUCHHHHHH I wish you well and speedy recovery in front of QB:)

This is the best place, by far. If I really need to get something done, I set a timer. LOL Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't.

I know for a fact that I'd have a lot more quilts done if I didn't know about this Board... but, I would not have found a number of shortcuts and tips that have made my quilting easier and much more fun.

Thank you all.... so... so... much.

psychonurse 04-26-2011 03:52 AM

so addicting and lots of fun. No where else can you have so many imaginary friends in quilting.

Grandma Peg 04-26-2011 04:08 AM

It is the truth and yet if you don't read you wonder what you are missing.

gspsplease 04-26-2011 04:24 AM

When I first started on QB I was puzzled by the comments about how long people spent on the Board, since it never took me longer than about 20 minutes to look at all the posts. Then, (weeks later)I noticed the page numbers on the bottom right hand side--I had only ever been reading page one! Now, like most people, I ration myself and only read all entries for a few favourite topics -- otherwise half the day would be gone.
cheers

VERY ADDICTING It takes time away from actually sewing.

Great-great granny 04-26-2011 05:00 AM

OHHHHHHH my gosh - me toooo - this place REALLY IS ADDICTIVE!!! (now at 77 I have to admit to my grt grand kids I'm an addict & they sure look at me funny!) :oops: :oops:

lillybeck 04-26-2011 05:04 AM

Me too/ I probably spend 2 hours a day looking at this board.

juliea9967 04-26-2011 05:43 AM

Don't you just love it!!! I NEED this board and a cup of coffee every morning. I just can't seem to manage without both.

caspharm 04-26-2011 06:52 AM

I agree. It is fun to see everyone's projects and read the comments.

Happy Linda 04-26-2011 07:19 AM

Yep, it's part of my morning coffee.

I'd go for that too!

pennylynne 04-26-2011 07:47 AM

oh yeah this IS addicting.....I was late picking up a friend to take her to an appointment the other day because I lost time on this board.....luckily she was still able to be seen and all went well....and NOW I'm back on the board again (but nobodies waiting on me today)!!!

Joselake 04-26-2011 08:22 AM

Love your quilt in your personals. We need a close up of that one. Beautiful

patticriss 04-26-2011 09:05 AM

Does everyone get their quilting board every day. Mine doesn't come every day.

Facewho?? This has totally broken my Facebook addiction.

Rumbols 04-26-2011 09:13 AM

I spend so much time here reading that my hubby says he knows where I am when I disappear for any length of time. Is that bad or what?

Oh gosh, me, too. I put the coffee on while my computer boots up. Then it's board talk for the next 2 hrs. or so. I try to earn my qb time by rushing through my chores. Today I'm trying to pack the car for my trip home so I put a few things in the trunk & here I am again. Now I'll go pack my sewing stuff then I'll be back. I am so pathetic but it sounds like I'm definitely not alone.........It always amazes me at how many members are online when I am.

Stitchit123 04-26-2011 09:33 AM

Repeat after me I AM NOT ADDICTED I AM NOT ADDICTED Now don't you feel better :lol:

Jammin' Jane 04-26-2011 10:44 AM

But this is a good addiction!
This is such a wonderful place to be!!

lyndad 04-26-2011 12:59 PM

I don't get to post much, but I'm here everyday reading (while at work, sssssh it's a secret)

MOBRIDGE MOM 04-26-2011 02:15 PM

You should do what I do...read it at work!

Dotziequilts 04-26-2011 02:19 PM

Hi My Name is Dot and I am a quilting board addict also. I have found so many tips and ideas. Being a fairly new quilter, I feel I have years of experience right at my fingertips. Thanks everyone.
