Spend too much time cruising this board instead of quilting

If I spent as much time actually quilting as I do on QB, I'd be accomplishing great things. Have been quilting for 30+ years but I learn something each and every day from QB. For me, it's checking in with friends every day and friends trump fabric. I think of it as time well spent.

Yah, me too. Today it was figuring out what colors of dye and fabric paint to order from which of 2 companies, that ate up many hours of my day. Tomorrow I'll be Snow Dyeing, then Quilt Guild meeting in the evening...

I used to spend a lot of time on here until they changed it, now I just don't enjoy it very much. I would much rather spend my time actually making things and find I get much more accomplished. I'm on the computer all day at work so it's really easy for me to stay away.

I used to spend a lot more time on the old board but not on this new board. I still don't like this set up as much as the old board and just never got as comfortable using this new one. Maybe I just need more time.

I love this site, read it all the time, subscribe to daily updates. I remember when people were upset about the change. I knew we'd make the transition. btw, I'm a newbie to quilting, but recognize a great site and wonderful people when I see them.

I spend hours on here each day too. I follow too many links, play too many You Tube tutorials, read most of the replies to the threads. By that time hours have passed and no sewing has been done. I tell myself that I'm learning new things, but I'm afraid it maybe procrastination to working on my own projects.

I'm a newbie so I thought it was just a newbie thing... LOL! I just kinda get lost in all the various areas... pictures, links... & I haven't even started on the tutorials! Yikes! My sewing room looks like a bomb went off in it & I need to get off my 'puter & get that baby cleaned up so I can actually do some sewing!

I spent 6 hours on this site (my favorite by the way). So I had to shower and run to town and come home and cook dinner. No sewing done at all. Does anyone else spend hours on this site? It's so addictive to me. I love the main section and the tutorials. Today I am spending one hour and then going to sew (hopefully). I just love the fellowship of this site and all the helpful people. It's like a "big family" here. So, does anyone else stay on this site for hours at a time?
I am with you, the fellowship on this site is the best. Everyone is helpful, great support and ideas. Love it!!
