I was in classe where a gal thought she could make and take away an entire quilt in the 2 hours!! :shock: Some gals are just not quilters...just like I am not one for scrapbooks. I have a gal pal who is great scrapbooker and card maker. I appreciate her talent and celebrate her joy in her craft.
I find people want instant gradification. I always tell folks it is about the journey and the process. A time to slow down...allow thoughts and creativity to flow.
I don't know about anyone else...but I enjoy the time with my own private thoughts when I am in my sewing room...or bonding with my fabric.

FW, I agree with you totally...the most special quilts I've made are so much more about the journey than the finished quilt. Natural patience comes easiest for me when I'm in my sewing room. That calmness is something I wish I could experience with every part of life.

Some people think that quilting is an expensive hobby. Maybe so, but it's cheaper than a shrink, and lots more effective!! LOL!
I have not taught quilting in over a decade, because of situations like NancyAnn and Snowplow described, but I have THOROUGHLY enjoyed working on my photo tutorial for our TQS BOM, because I feel like the people who are working on it really want to learn and share and are excited about the project. When they ask questions, they seem glad for the help that is offered by any TQS member. I am so glad that I'm a member of this amazing group of quilters and just love the sharing atmosphere that has been created and nurtured here.
I just got a message from Webshots that over SIX THOUSAND people have looked at my tutorial this week!!!! That makes me think that there are more than a handful of us working on the BOM project!
Looking forward to the next block!

Margo! 6,000 hits is awesome.... Either like you said, I alot more of use are doing the BOM, or the ones doing the BOM are logging in ALOT to check our progress against your tutorial... LOL
I vote for a lot of people checking it out, and if it is anything like use here, your tutuorial hits are now being generated from other groups, and probably other blogs and even local quilt guild members sharing information with their fellow members.
My first computer had the green screen and message boards were very geeky. I literally typed in the language to run "Frogger" and the graphics were so primitive. What a nightmare proofing, but I finally got it to work. We've come a long way, and it amazes me every day.
It's such a wonderful feeling to know we all share a common bond. Margo, thanks again for sharing.

I buy most of my fabric on ebay and online fabric stores, and try to buy used books as often as possible. This not only saves money, but makes me feel freer to pay top price for a special tool or irresistible fabric.
I don't have a LQS -- the closest store is over 30 minutes away, and doesn't seem often to have unusual or (to me) exciting fabrics. Factor in the price of gas, and it really makes more sense to shop the limitless selection online.
I quilt with a number of ladies who are on limited budgets; most of them don't have newer sewing machines or the latest gadgets. However, they still manage to turn out some beautiful quilts! Furthermore, they are wonderful friends with great hearts, and a joy to know. They can borrow my gizmos any day!
