Sooo many questions

Where are you from geographically? Do you live in a small town, suburbs, or a city? Big City, Pacific Northwest
What is your age/ gender/profession/ marital status? Retires, female, married
How long have you been quilting? Started in the early 1970's stopped for a few years and started again in 2000
How long have you engaged in online quilting communities and resources? And why did you first join? Depends on the site -- I think I joined the first group in 2005 -- I wanted to exchange ideas with folks.
What other means of communication do you use to stay in touch with others quilters and the quilting community at large? I was a guild member for a while and DD quilts.
Do you have access to in-person quilting communities and classes near you? I took a couple of lessons in the early 2000, but mainly I bought a bunch of used books and learned techniques.
What have been the social benefits of being involved in an online quilting forum? Help and inspiration.
Do you feel that your presence here has influenced the quality/artistry of your quilting? If so, how? Definitely -- learn about new patterns and techniques
Would you consider yourself very active in social media outside of quilting oriented sites? To what extent would you say that you are technologically savvy? I am VERY technological -- the only "social media" site I belong to is Pinterest and may go there once a month.
How much time do you dedicate to quilting and crafting per week? 3 - 30+ hours (depends on what is happening in my life)
What is your opinion of computer generated quilting patterns and resources? Don't know which patterns are computer generated. I use EQ7 to design patterns, but I also use old fashioned graph paper and colored pencils.
