Welcome!! I am always confused and overwhelmed. LOL I try to go to the member blogs first and then see what new quilts are in the gallery. I just posted my latest quilt for my Airman. Then on to the forum and that is it. I am kinda crazy and check in with TQS at least 2 times a day sometimes more.
I was supposed to go a taping this weekend but caught the crud from my DH -- wasn't that nice of him. Oh well, there will be more in September.
Hope you will enjoy the site. I really do.

I don't think Im confused and overwhelmed anymore. Im finding my way around now...thanks for everyone for their words of advise.
I have just replied to someone who is really confused and overwhelmed. Please be sure to help another Aussie out - bigmumma. She really needs help.
I've added my bit of advise...a bit abrupt, but I have a son who is like this...not about quilting but goes from job to job and can always think he can do better somewhere else, but ends up going down the ladder instead of up, so to speak. He is ADD too.
Hugs, Heather

Originally posted by LorchenWelcome, Heather!
Once you are familiar with all the cool stuff that's in the purple bar across the top of the screen, you can then decide which sections float your boat. For example, I work full-time and have very little spare time. I like to check any new messages in the Forum once a day, and read the home page. If there is time left after that, I often treat myself to a little browsing in the Quilt Gallery. If your time is your own, you could join the BOM. That'll keep you busy for the rest of the year. I can only cope with smaller projects, so I have taken part in a couple of the 'Challenges' and really enjoyed that.
Whatever you decide to do, Heather, have fun!!

Hi everyone, and to you Lorchen, just realised that you are here in UK with me, well same island anyway! lol. wHAT do you do for a living as you said that you work full time? I am a teacher, but recently made redundant, so working supply while looking for another job, BUT, still not enough time to quilt and check out all of TQS!!!!
Even though been a member since the beginning, I have not done any blogging yet, so still a newby at that, might get around to it soon when have something interesting to say!!! :?

Okay, I'll admit it. Like most people, I have a "soft addiction"--TQS. I hadn't heard the term until today, while watching a TV interview with the author of a book with that title. Soft addictions are usually harmless, like TQS, but can affect your productivity by eating up lots of your time.
I'll confess, that I try to get a TQS "fix" at least once a day. It sure was tough over the last month while my PC was being repaired, but I did get a lot more quilting done on my 2009 TQS BOM. So, I didn't have to go through "cold turkey" TQS withdrawal.

I have to agree with both Nancy& Maggie.Its almost 9:30 on a Sat. morning and I've been sitting on my butt in front of this computer since 7:30!! Don't tell anyone!!! I should be outside clearing the winter leaves off the last of the garden beds,but.... I recently discovered the member blogs and Pam Holland has the new video and there is a new smile box(all of these have to be watched more than once).But,I wouldn't have bought some of the fabric,made some of the quilts,tried some of the techniques if not for TQS.Also,none of my friends(much as I love them)quilt or even sew.All of you are my quilting friends(wow,I hope that isn't too pathetic).So,I'm going outside now to rake,but..... I'll be back! Julie

Another agreement with the other ladies here....I sit and do my TQS morning catch up every day in my robe and hope no one comes to visit, Not that I care much at being caught in my "jammies", but I'd rather be catching up with my quilt friends than gossiping about the neighbors! So here I sit-happy and content-becoming more inspired every day to be a better quilter and making wonderful friends. What more could a gal want?

I have been way out of touch as I have been very busy with work, moving my mom, and general life things. I haven't started the April Stars and now it is May. Decided it was my "right" and logged on this morning. I had 65 forum topics waiting for me. I have missed my time here so much. I vow NEVER to go so long without my TQS fix :lol: Gloria looking to regain my sanity

Gloria,
I sort of know how you feel. I was away for a couple of months :cry: because I thought I was better off without it. Okay, can you say STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :shock:
Never again, I swear. We need the support we find here. At least I know I do.
Heather, welcome!! I apologize for not saying it earlier. ops: eileenkny
