I really enjoy a variety of topics, but I respect your opinion too. I love vintage machines and enjoy pics of them and another favorite topic of mine currently is estate and yard sale finds. I love quilting and that will always be my reason for being here, but some other topics do add spice.

Much time and thought has been put into how to break things down on this board. Some love to learn about others lives and see all the new babies and wedding photo's and others do not. Maybe if we could divide the "Pictures" section into two categories that would help some. maybe a Quilt only category and and everything else. I don't know how hard this would be to do. It would be up to Patrice or Admin to change the settings

I only read things in the Main forum, nothing else, and even then there are a great deal of non-quilting topics...like, um, this one. :lol: I agree with you fully, mytwopals, but things are never going to go back the way they were so we either have to adapt or move on. Life is like that. I miss gas at 23¢ a gallon, too. ;)

gee ... thanks for all the ideas.
i was getting bored with only 23.5 hours worth of stuff to do every day. :lol: :lol: :lol:
for the time being, we won't add any more real sections. the board is big enough and complex enough in that regard.
it wouldn't matter if we did. no matter how many specialized sections we had, we would always find topics in the wrong place and/or with cryptic titles.
human beans. what'cha gonna do wit' 'em? :lol: :lol: :lol:
they are my peeps and i luvs 'em. ;-)

I am very happy with the board. I just read the topics I am interested in and sometimes get surprised and learn a lot of new things.

I enjoy the variety of topics on this board. If it's something that doesn't interest me, I just don't read it. And I think Bow Tucks belong in the quilted section anyway--you quilt them a little :) It's where I'm practicing my FMQ so maybe one day I'll try it on an actual quilt. But everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I think the board is great but posters should be more careful of the section that they post in. The pics of your cat or your flowers should be in chit chat and all those types of things Main should be for quilting onlyand Pics should be pics of quilts only. Maybe we need a section for sewing only for things like bags. Some people do enjoy them. IMHO posters also need to title their posts clearer so users don't waste time loading subjects that are of no interest, for then we know the subject at a glance

I love the variety. I do all types of sewing - garments, home dec, crafts, and quilting too. The variety of posts here is what draws me to participate! I would never, ever try to read all the posts though - I just pick and choose what interests me.
