Just my opinion
#51
I also agree....I'm not the greatest quilter and all the info I have gained here has helped me immensley. One thing I want to try now is the BIG STITCH. I used to hand quilt but have arthritis in my hands and can't manage the small needles and stitches anymore but love the idea of being able to hand quilt using the big stitch...Thank you all so much for all your great tips and ideas.

Please understand that this is just my opinion, but after reading/perusing two different magazine arrivals I have decided that there is far more talent on this board than some of what is being published in national magazines. Every day that I read the posts and view the pictures on the Quilting Board I see such awesome designs and workmanship. It is so inspiring.
So congratulations to all of you and please keep up your wonderful work.

I agree with you completely. When I look at some of the quilts pictured in the magazines and see that the edges are wavy, the corners are sloppy and the work is generally not 'top knotch', I definetely would choose the work done by QB members. They take pride in their work.

Although I agree that this board is wonderful and I have learned a lot and I wouldn't be without it, I still like the quilt magazines I subscribe to. They do feature the newer fabrics and do have some interesting patterns. I picked up two great magazines at the bookstore - one from the UK and one from France which had some marvelous quitsl in them - something that I would have to stumble upon online! Besides, I do like to sit on the couch and thumb through magazines once in a while. Sort of why I like books instead of ereaders.

This is so true. I have cancelled my subscriptions to 2 magazines. I found they were getting repetitive and covering topics I was not interested in. I love our group. We can post anything and someone will have the answer or know where to find it. Sisters helping sisters!!!! A blessed, and happy Christmas to all my quilting sisters. I will be putting up a CHRISTMAS tree.
