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

    Way back there was a small group of us who would draw complex blocks to share and then we would construct those blocks using hand piecing and applique techniques. I miss that group. Anybody still here from that group?

    You may be right, Patrice There have been so many changes over the years to the online groups. It seems the old group was called "Quilting Forum". Maybe I am confusing that one with this one. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

    I think I got on sort of at the beginning. Many changes since then.

    Are there any groups on here specifically for hand piecing and or needleturn applique? I tried to find one by searching the categories, but I may have missed something. Any help appreciated

    20+ years ago (around Y2K) I was active on the Sewing World boards that had a similar format and many sub-categories. My husband came into my life and while I was busy building a RL relationship, Sewing World closed down. About 10 years after the honeymoon, I found Quilting Board and was happy to have found something similar. It seems like I've been here longer -- I've certainly seen some changes in membership and remember many "old names" but according to my info, looks like I joined in 2018.

    I just looked at my account here and this is what it says for my join date: Join Date 01-18-2013 Since that is only 11 years ago, I am obviously thinking of a different forum Because of specific occurrences in my life, I know it was way longer than 11 years ago I live in a rural area and have tried locally to find people with similar interests, but have not had much success.

    When I joined there were quite a few that were banned and never knew why. Most came back under a new name and different email so still here but very few knew the veteran members by the new name. I was here before the new board change over. A lot of members left then. I know some posters who joined in 2006.
