...aside from the wisdom (relating to quilting and life in general), the "spunkiness" in some of the discussions, the concern for each other when there is a post about a bump or pot hole in one's life, the jokes, and the general decency of folks who post here?

I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate the lack of "pop-up's" , "to download pictures, click here" interruptions, the advertising, and the uncluttered look of the message board.

I've gone to look at other boards and figuratively ran away "screaming" from all the visual overload that's on those boards. Sometimes, I can't even follow the thread of a discussion. It's positively mind-boggling!

This board / web site is one of the best around.

Just wanted to say thanks to the web master / creator for making this available to us. Ya did good! You've made some great decisions in the look and "feel" of the board!

THANKS!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Only board for me! Love it!!

Ditto!!!

Me too. I've tried to negotiate a couple of others, but get lost in the "blog" aspect of some. If it's very complicated, I'm just not going to try. I'd rather spend my time visiting than trying to figure out how to visit. I think this board is the best, mostly because of all the friends here.
Thanks, Madolyn, for this post.

I find myself here instead of quilting sometimes when I should be....... :shock: :lol: :wink: Good job and thanks to the webmaster also!

Linda D.

I wholeheartedly agree.

That goes ditto for me too.

I totally agree! THANK YOU!

I agree with everyone else-I have felt at home here since the first minute I introduced myself. I have never even looked at another board-why go anywhere else when you are with the best!!?

This is a great site, I have to agree with all comments.
I don't even know how I stumbled on this site, but glad I did!

That would be a great big DITTO from me too!! Thanks Admin!!! YOU ROCK!!

I agree with everybody else. I work full time and don't have a lot of time to be on here. But, I always find myself checking out the messages here.
And it seems like if I run into a problem with quilting I can always find what I need to know somewhere on here.

Yup! :D

You can count me in the fan club, too!

I too love this board! I don't remember how I stumbled upon it, but glad I did. It's a great place to visit several times a day. :mrgreen:

I totally agree too. It is so nice to not have to look at all the "junk"

I agree with feeling at home from the very first second I joined the board! Such wonderful friends :)

It's a great board...
Glad I found it.
Thanks to all that moderate and those that participate.

I too love this board!

I agree with everyone else...although I am fairly new and have went about signing in and putting things in the wrong place....I have been treated with kit gloves and gently reminded what I should have done...Thanks for not kicking me out... :roll: and a great site not full of bull... :wink:

Can't add anything more than what has already been said.
Sometimes someone might think I live on this board since I will forget to shut the computer down. Will leave the screen up the entire day. lol

Count me in.

Same here- truly appreciate the people who put their talents to work here for us. Sometimes we may forget to thank them- so here we are- THANK YOU!!!!!!

And I also feel I have a WHOLE BUNCH of friends here!

The ease of this site makes it a plus. But you guys make it a double plus!!

I love this site. Have learned so much... viewed some beautiful quilts. Had a chance to share some of my work. In fact I find myself on this site every day now. Sure has cut down on the quilting tho. lol :P

I like it here too! I love that the links I follow are the ones I wanted to follow! Great board wonderful people, now all we need is the computer make dinner and fill the room with ac and we'd be all set.

I like it here too - everyone is so welcoming! And creative! And so generous! Everyone is supportive of each other! The board physically is so user freindly andnot at all in your face with ads! Woohoo! Okay, no more gushing, but I've wanted to say thanks like this for a while and I'm glad this thread was started!

looks like this board is the winner of the all time number one spot to-go-to.

I agree right along with all of you . This is the best place to be . If you need help it is just a question away . Someone will always help you . I'm sure glad I found it , too ! Annie

.........addicted..........

thanks for a great forum. My only comparison is to an archery forum my DH belongs to, and this place comes out in aces!

and - I wondered how everyone managed to do so much quilting AND posting. Now I know, it isn't just me who can't seem to quilt and type at the same time although my computer is right next to my sewing machine. :roll:

I just love this board, feel I have made so many friends all over the world and it was great when someone posted the Who are You, because then I got to put a face to the gals who I had been writing to and who had been writing to me. Yes, I find myself checking this site out several times, sometimes I forget to click out, so in case you are wondering I do sleep.

Oh yes and a special thank you to the Admin Girls who do an absolutely amazing job. I have wondered, how did this Board get started???? Enquiring minds would like to know????? Please

I found this site through Konstantin's Quilted Newsletter that I signed up for in the spring when I first started to learn how to quilt. She has connections at the bottom of her newsletter.

I love this site!!! I can get a laugh, instructions, encouragement (very important to a newbie :D ), patterns, links and so much wisdom. I've recommended this site to the quilters that I know with a great deal of enthusiasm.

This isn't just a website, it's a community. I've noticed that people will even ask about someone who posts a great deal and then doesn't post for a couple of days. Everyone here seems to look out for one another. I think that's beautiful :!: :) :!:

Yep this board is the best. Lots of advice-help. Lots of friends all over. Easy to EnJoy! And the live chats are fun & easy too! :lol: Even if all you do is listen until you can catch-on to the topic of discussion. I signed on with one other and I never go there. :lol: This one is the BEST. Thanks, admin.

This is the place to be--I've never seen a nicer and more supportive, helpful group of people. :lol: I feel like I personally know alot of you and a visit to "board' is a regular part of my day. In fact, it is quite addictive.......

I was thinking today--what this board is to me is a replacement for a missing mother and grandmother in my life. Lost Mom in 1997, and Gram in 2005. Gram especially was so happy I was quilting and I'd haul all the new fabrics and WIPs when I visited her every weekend. It was a treasure of a time.

Now there's no one to share my projects with, but all of you. The new routine is deciding when to take a photo to post it here....should I wait until the binding is sewn on, or not. (Usually not. :wink: )

I appreciate the support. :D

This baord is the best and all you guys and gals are the BESTEST!!!!!! :D

I started quilting and joined this board just after my Mum died 18 months ago! My younger sis had died the year before and I'm sure this place stopped me from going mad!! I was beginning to feel very sorry for myself!....I can't even remember how I found the site....but I'm so glad I did!!

Ummmm.... Konstantin and I have something in common....

Madolyn--you said it all very good! I agree! :thumbup:

Yes, and don't forget me across the pond.
