    I come here to find out how much I don't know about quilting. Last night I was trying to piece the Jan. BOM and found out quilting and piecing are 2 completely different arts.... Needles to say I am recutting my Jan. I just found out about BOM a couple weeks ago and am Waaaaaayyyy behind but determined to catch up. I had never attempted to hand piece . It took looking at everyone elses work to figure what I was doing wrong. Now I hopefully can cut the pieces properly and they will fit right. Decided I need basic Q. lessons...... so much for trying. Thanks to all who make this Board work. It can't be easy with dimmies like me. Is there a Quilting for Dummies book?

    I just love the board and come to visit every day. To me it is like going to a quilting guild meeting, a quilting class and a quilt show each day.

    I read the QB each day, 'cause where else can you have a good time learning, laughing, and sometime some tears. It's a daily family reunion without the problems

    I come to look at the beautiful quilts which expand my horizons. All are a work of art with some being breathtakingly stunning! I also learn a lot about technique, products, etc. it is just an all around great place to share and learn.

    BEST OF ALL..I have met a couple of awesome quilters in my area because of the board.

    I come to this site for support and encouragement and am made to feel like I have known everyone of you for years. It makes you feel like you are one of the family. If I have a question all I have to do is ask and there will be someone who will know the answer. I think new and old quilters benifit from this group. I am here everyday and not just once but several times, love it!!! Thank you all for being there for us.

    So many reasons! I am more of a lurker than a poster, but for me, the encouragement that abounds on this board is priceless. I am such a beginner~and unfortunately don't know enough to be scared of a pattern Anytime I get in over my head, there is ALWAYS someone here to help me out!

    Besides that, I don't know how I could drink my morning coffee without you all

    I am not able to make the meetings at our local quilt guild because I am gone for half of every year and when i am home am usually involved with my grandchildren, I discovered this board and found the inspiration I was missing! I love looking at all the pictures. I get my coffee and read the board every morning. I have learned so much. When I have a question I know where to get the answer. This is just a great place to come and visit!

    I have been a member to a long time but have only recently started to post a few comments. Today, I will go back to comment 15 to see if I can learn to post pictures. I have been unsuccessful thus far. Though I know I shouldn't spend so much time here I visit every day in the wee hours of the day. I have learned from many of you and have discovered that there are frequently better ways of doing things-sometimes, not so much. I have appreciated the many links to sites and "places" I would have never figured out all these sites on my own. I have made a list of them and made comments about their content so I can go for specific information. I also love your humor as you deal with difficulties in your quilting journey. The road is wide and full of travelers-I'm glad to share the road with so many travelers.
