Your daily Quilting Board fix
 
Hello my name is Carol and I am a quilting board junkie! When I get up every morning I feel like I just HAVE to get on this board and take a look at what is going on. It's so relaxing to get all my morning chores out of the way then sit here for an hour or so with my cup of coffee. Of course, then it is off to work. Anyone else feel this way?

Here in Sydney, Australia, my quilting board email comes about 10pm, so it's a late night indulgance for me. By the time I have looked at the quilt photos, checked new hints and followed up on internet shopping opportunities, it's often after midnight, but a nice way to finish the day.

Cattyqwltr 11-11-2011 04:45 AM

Yes, i do - I bookend my day with this board, especially the chat room - Start it off and finish it with some fun converastions with friends.

lynnsim 11-11-2011 04:47 AM

Yes, it's the 1st thing I look at.

deedum 11-11-2011 04:52 AM

1st thing in the morning and last thing in the evening! It certainly is my fix. I don't want to miss a thing!

Rose Marie 11-11-2011 04:53 AM

It is 5:40 am and with my coffee surfing the board. Will probubly be here for at least an hour.

It'sJustMe 11-11-2011 04:56 AM

You betcha! And it's starting to feel like home again :)

jitkaau 11-11-2011 04:59 AM

It's now coming in at 10:45pm, so it's a wind down at the end of the day, really.

That's the way I feel, it's getting better with each day, and I still come in to get my "fix"!

teddysmom 11-11-2011 05:09 AM

I check the QB every morning. I scan through and see what I want to read right then and usually come back later in the day when I have more time. But love to start out the day with the QB

dd55 11-11-2011 05:09 AM

usually spend at least an hour every morning looking at pics, tuts and all the helpful hints from this awesome board. thanks for being here!

Yooper32 11-11-2011 05:12 AM

I used to get up around 5-ish in the a.m. in the days when we had a digest and wouldn't surface from here until sometimes 9:00a.m.

Well, I didn't get up that early, but I certainly spent a lot more time here with the digest! I sure miss it. But on the upside, I'm getting more done around the house. That's not a bad thing. But I still feel kind of lost.

michelehuston 11-11-2011 05:16 AM

Most definately try to get on every morning with my coffee...I do sometimes run a bit behind schedule because I don't want to leave!!! :shock:

CarrieC 11-11-2011 05:16 AM

I love this board. I either do a quick scan at home with a cup of coffee, or when I'm at work before I'm "OFFICIALLY" at work I may take a few minutes to scan. I use my breaks through the day to relax and get a dose of sometimes laughter and sometimes just plain joy. Every night, even when I travel, I log on and really dig in and read and LEARN.
Love the people and I'm starting to love the new board.

plainpat 11-11-2011 05:44 AM

Since we're retired, I can check several quilting boards most days.My favs are the ones, like this...where help can be found for most any subject,be it quilting or a good recipe.

Murphy1 11-11-2011 05:50 AM

I do start the day here with a cup of coffee around 5 California time. Then as a retired person, I quilt and when I need a break I return the QB to check out places I haven't been. Still find old posts repeated and hope one day that will not be at the case, but I am now mostly just reading the beginning of a post without fully opening it, unless I think I will have something to say. I have learned much here and look forward to it returning to a normal board where quilting and sharing pictures are the posts of the day.

alwayslearning 11-11-2011 05:50 AM

It is like getting together with friends for a while everyday. Thanks, everyone!

Lori S 11-11-2011 06:11 AM

Just a soon as I fire up the computer, I am checking the board to see whats happening. I would feel a bit out of Sync if I didn't do this first thing.

Caroline S 11-11-2011 06:23 AM

My name is Caroline and I am addicted also. In the AM it is a cup of coffee and the board and in the PM I take a look at it before bed. Oh, and I take glances at the QB during the day. Yep! That's addicted.

Chicca 11-11-2011 06:27 AM

I have my coffee every morning with the Board and usually off and on a couple times throughout the day. At least, when I can get dear hubby away from the computer....LOL.

lillybeck 11-11-2011 06:33 AM

This board is the thing I do while I drink my morning coffee. I am slowly getting the feel of the new update and still enjoy drinking my coffee with all of you.

waddley 11-11-2011 06:40 AM

I have 2 boards that I check in on most everyday with a cup of coffee. I so enjoy reading about the quilts that people are working on and the new (to me) ideas that some have come up with. You see, I quilt, I don't sew, but I may start branching out a bit as there are some bags that seem to be calling my name.

I hope everyone has a great day.:D

gramarraine 11-11-2011 07:01 AM

I can't seem to get into the daily projects without reading the board first. I am so glad things are starting to become easier for me.

luvstoquilt 11-11-2011 07:05 AM

Yes! I love searching all the sights. Love looking at others work, etc. Great way to start or end a day!

Karma 11-11-2011 07:05 AM

Yes! It is part of my daily routine to check in here first. Even if i don't get a chance to sew all day the site keeps me inspired and gives me a Quilty fix.

mzzzquilts 11-11-2011 07:43 AM

I used to do Facebook first, then QB...but since the new site came up last week...I make this my FIRST stop...I love it :)

joyce888 11-11-2011 08:02 AM

Yes I gotta get my fix everyday. Just wish I could get used to this new format. I know I've missed out on so much stuff!

An Arm Long 11-11-2011 08:02 AM

I start the day with the board and sometimes in the evening as well.

Carol, where are you in Delaware?

Taino Jan 11-11-2011 08:23 AM

I quickly became addicted. Not just the friends but the info is enjoyed. I've learned a lot and have used many of the tips. Should we warn the newbies?:D

wolph33 11-11-2011 08:24 AM

Yes,I start almost everyday here with my tea.there are so many great pics and ideas floating around here.

Shirls4sons 11-11-2011 08:27 AM

I'm a newbie of a few weeks, and your warning is too late :)....I'm already addicted. LOL This board is my morning routine with my pot of coffee. It's my fix for the day.

yayaquilts 11-11-2011 08:30 AM

I read QB every morning with my coffee while my husband reads the paper!! I usually check it a couple more times and at night!!

Yes, we should warn the newbies. At least, I should have been warned. Seems like I don't get enough accomplished these days. No excuse, tho, as there are plenty of ideas here. Morning, noon and night for me. Thanks.

crafty pat 11-11-2011 09:05 AM

Yes I like to start my day here. One day's like yesterday when I don't have time to get on my computer I feel like I am missing so much.

cjackaitlin 11-11-2011 09:05 AM

Every day after my walk I sit and read this board, my intention is to read for 15 minutes. Some times I'm on for 2-3 hours. Where does the time go when you have so much to read and see ?

dakota gal 11-11-2011 09:07 AM

First thing I check when I get on my computer.

createfourpaws 11-11-2011 09:21 AM

Since I found this board, I have become so very addicted. I am on here almost all day since I am off work due to surgery. when I was working I would check before work and at work on my breaks, then again when I got home from work.

I have been neglecting my quilting projects since I started coming to the board. At this time due to surgery I can do too much but when I can do some quilting I go for it.


Have a great weekend.
