Any of the old time users still on here? From 20 years ago?

I've been here since June 2008. I grew to feel like I really knew others and remember when the board creator shared the story about its inception. This forum has been my "guild" and most of what I know about quilting has been learned from members. I will always be thankful for the day I stumbled in and was welcomed into the fold.

When I first joined (under a different name/email) there were quite a few folks who did hand applique, hand quilting, and such. They were wonderful artists whose work I really admired. Most if not all no longer post here.... I miss them!
I would love to see more of that type of work featured on here, much as I enjoy the work others share today!

I've been here since 2010. It was a revelation to see what people were up to. My DH and I did our quilting, never joined a group or guild. I was amazed at how many did machine quilting. I come from a background of hand quilting, simple machines, DH made his own patterns, and I repaired and washed antique quilts. I believe my first question was about hand washing a quilt, and everyone else was like, "Just throw it in the machine!".
