    I am a lone quilter...none of my friends or family quilt.

    This is the place I come every day for inspiration, help, tutorials, a good laugh (thanks Ditter) and to be with others that have the same passion for fabric and quilting as I do.

    The people here are so generous with their time, support and expertise....there are no "cliques", plenty of heartwarming pics and we are all welcomed....beginner right through to professional....the artists, the frugals, the traditionalists and the modernists....an eclectic and wonderful assortment (bit like a mammoth box of chocolates or a giant box of fabric scraps).

    So thanks everyone and Long Live the Quilting Board.

    How well you sized us all up! Very heart-warming on a cold night, even in Texas.

    You are so right...as one who works in legal, well the notice board takes me away when things are just so horrible in this world.....& then I can drift into my thoughts of quilting as soon as I get home

    Ditto, ditto, ditto. In reading all these interesting threads there are some really obvious 'common denominators' aren't there. No matter how we arrived, what has kept most of us here is such a strong sense of community. Everyone here starts with a love of quilting, even if it begins with just looking at the beautiful work being shared in the Pictures section. The tutorials are so incredibly well done, questions are asked and answered with respect and courtersy, and the value of the combined knowledge and expertise of 22,000 craftsmen cannot be measured. But my favorite part of the board is that it is genuinely helpful. There is never a sense of competition, just a heartfelt desire to promote and support the quilter's craft. I am so happy to be a part of it.

    I am officially taking names, so that when I get to heaven, I will have my list of people to look up. I have no doubt you will all be there. :thumbup:
