I love the pictures, they give a fresh outlook on quilts patterns I want to do and I love to hear stories of daily like of people living outside California, sometimes I am envious and sometime I am happy to live here, so much talent on this Board it keeps me humble as I learn something new every day and as I will be retiring next year I will be enjoying it even more. Thanks to all

They say that gratitude precedes prosperity and without prosperity, the size of my stash suffers!!
I wanted to take a minute to thank all of you here on this board for the free sharing of information on products and techniques and sources. I've received the equivalent of a PhD by reading the posts.
What have you found that has made your life, as a quilter sooo much better by finding it on this board?

Oh! Forgot something! I tend to become a recluse, esp in bad weather, and don't go out to socialize much. This place has become my "social network"! I love the threads like "Quirky Habits!"....I sat and laughed and identified so much with that one....it felt like a regular "hen's party", like you were all sitting in my living room sharing laughs as we sewed! And the sharing of ailments and remedies and encouragement....I'm amazed at how many of us have various disabilities and deal with them with our sewing and quilting. This is a wonderful place!!

Just Barb I agree with everything written on these 9 pages. I have never seen such a group of wonderful, caring, sharing, talented, unselfish people ever. I have learned so much in these last few months reading this script. The resources are terrific as is the advice. I thank each and everyone of you for sharing.

I have always hated blogs and bulletin boards - until now. This board is so unique and there are so many wonderful, helpful and kind people on it I read it everyday. I got into quilting because of it. Thank you just doesn't seem enough.

After reading through all of the posts here there isn't much more that I can add but when my brain quit working all I did was post my problem and I had the answer I needed and was able to change the needle in my machine and keep on sewing. I look forward to reading the posts and enjoying the beautiful quilts every day. Thank-you to the inspired individual or individuals that created this forum, and all the interesting people I have met here.

Oh dear, where do I start? This board has enabled me to cultivate and grow my addiction to quilting. Every single day, I get a lesson from my fellow quilters. I learned to quilt at my mother's knee, so to speak, when I was "knee high to a grasshopper." Then I grew up, went to school, got married and raised a family. I quilted off an on during that time, making quilts for each of my children, then on to the grands. Now I quilt for anyone and everyone, including myself. I am thankful for all the suggestions, the "funnies" and the wealth of information. I get knowledge from the selection of fabric to the type of quilt that will go with that fabric. I get knowledge about what notion I absolutely can't live without and which notion may be a "luxury."
As someone else mentioned, I now have a PhD in all things quilted. I come to the board the first thing and read it while enjoying my 2nd cup of coffee. I get my fix and then I can go about my day. Thanks to all of you wonderful ladies and gentlemen that have contributed to my higher education. It is greatly appreciated. Also a word of graditude to the moderators, who work their little "butts" off and their fingers to the bone for us. Thank you. Thank you.
