I appreciate so much all the posts but particularily the quilting ones because I've learned so much in the short time I've been a member. From the non-quilting posts, I've gotten to know a few of you, and I think that builds comaradeire. We'll probably never meet face to face but I feel like I have friends here who are glad to hear from me, what I'm working on and some of things that are going on in my life. Chris

I, like many others do not have the time to read everything and just click on titles or photos that, from the title, seem of interest to me. I think it is great to have variety, sometimes seeing something different leads us into a new direction and a new 'style'
I am not really into 'traditional' patterns, but I know, because I have seen them on here, that these can be made more modern with different choices of fabric and a few twists and turns and I love that.
At this point in my life I do not have much interest in making a bag but who knows what is around the corner and how my interest will change in the future. At least on this board I have the choice of looking at a multitude of ideas, inspiring work and creativity. I love every part of it and thank you all for taking the time to post anything and everything!

I joined this message board back in April 2009, when admittedly there were fewer of us here. Back then, it seemed nearly all the messages were quilting related. I've always tried to read each and every post daily in both the Main and Pictures sections. And tried to make appropriate comments, including assistance and encouragement.
Lately, I feel we've gotten away from this being a Quilter's Message Board. There seem to be too many posts with general sewing (Bow Tucks bags and clothing) and other hobbies (Antique sewing machine repair and needlepoint). I am finding it increasingly difficult to read all the posts now and am less inclined to do so, as I have no interest in these other activites. If I did, I would join a message board for those activities.
I sincerely feel, we need to get back to this message board's original purpose of quilting and eliminate many of the non-quilting related posts.

Patrice? If I pass the pop quiz can I go to the head of the class? I've never been to the head of the class before. I think I might like it there...maybe... ;) :)
I will apologize for my "stuff it" comment. My mama would have been appalled! For the way I worded that, I'm sorry. I will, however, maintain that my vintage machines are quilty...as much so as a Gammill! :lol:
The nice thing about being an adult is that two people can disagree and still be friends....it's ok to do that. ;) (I still tell my kids this...have one daughter in law that hasn't grasped the concept yet, she's only 47 tho, think there's still time?)

I love this board....quilting, pics, jokes....all of it. The quilters here are the best! I have learned so much just by reading others' questions. And best of all.....you don't laugh at my silly looking quilts....lol.

wow- I did not know that there were 250,000 members! I like the variety, but I pick and choose which posts I read. I have not been a member all that long though.
