I like THE QUILT SHOW because .......

[sandytn]

The main reason I like TQS if because they are ..... here; available; full of information and fun to watch. :lol: I don't know what the T.V. producers are thinking about but they aren't offering anything to watch. I was dissapointed when 'Simply Quilts' was ended and other art, craft, you do it programs also ended or changed. I watch my computor more than I watch T.V. anymore. THE QUILT SHOW has perked up my abillity to watch and learn new things that I like. I have just recently found the forum and like all the caring and sharing people on it. Thank you to everyone that is involved in making this available. I am amazed at how many things are offered and all the high tech stuff (it is for me!) at the touch of a button! This is great!! :roll:

I like TQS not only because it gives us great information, is entertaining, allows us to meet each other and share our knowledge and work, etc., but also because it provides us the opportunity to meet and listen to some amazing women who have created a business out of what they love to do. These women write, teach, some publish, design not only quilts but products that help the rest of us create better and better projects of our own. I don't mean to slight the men involved in quilting as a profession. There is something special about as a woman listening to these other women who are role models and not just for quilters. These are can-do women who inspire others to go out and do our thing.

I say "bravo/brava" to TQS for showcasing these women to the world.

All of the above. I have always been a loner and the quilt show was a way of joining but only when I wanted to. It has sucked me in. I check in numerous times a day and I am doing more project that I ever dreamed of. I am learning to machine quilt and trying new products and techniques. The projects site just added will become addictive. I want to do all three currently posted. I ordered Ricky's The Family Tree of Life which will be my first convergence quilt. So much to do and so little time to do it. Sandy in TN

I agree with the sentiments that have already been expressed, and also find it fascinating to watch this show and community grow and evolve.....to think where it/we were 18 months ago and see where it is now is just incredible! I, too, find it addictive.......could probably get more quilting done if I spent less time "checking in" to see what's new....but that's OK for now. When I retire and have more free time I'll be able to do both to my heart's content! I have been so inspired and moved by many of the stories and all of the support shown for those reaching out asking for guidance, inspiration, and with personal issues. Until TQS I didn't really understand how someone could spend so much time/energy on the internet, but now I've found my niche, and I totally get it! Keep it up, ARJJ, you are on to something huge!!

This site has become like a coffee clache(sp?)for me. But it's really better-I don't feel like I have to talk if I don't want to. I can just sit back and "listen" to all the conversations without the sound pounding on my ears.
I check back several times a day to see what all my new friends are up to in their lives. I love that we talk about lots of things, not just quilting; although it is a continuous thread that binds us all together. :wink:
Okay, I'm getting a little sappy here. I'll stop now ops:

Just one part of this site that I am really enjoying is the BOM. Applique has always been something that I avoided if at all possible and dreaded doing. However this design was just too appealing to pass up, and now I'm hooked.

So hooked that I have started doing Sue's Night Before Christmas BOM that started in April. As a comparison of value, these blocks cost $6.00 + S&H ($8.00) At that price, the TQS BOM would cost $96.00, but we get it as part of the membership and there's no waiting for the pattern to arrive in the mail. I can't begin to put a value on the Rhapsody videos or Alex's classroom videos.

The people who limit themselves to just the shows are really missing the richness that this site offers. At least I think so.

Sue's Night Before Christmas is so tempting. The only think holding me back is that I have so many things already on my list I want to do. I don't know how much longer I will hold out. Applique is my favorite technique.

I like The Quilt Show because I love to read about quilting, talk about quilting, LEARN about quilting, and love the fact that there is all different kinds of quilters here!!

I, too, was terribly disappointed when Simply Quilts was no longer. As a new quilter, I learned so much from that show! And then I would pass on to my quilter friends anything new I'd learned. Now I'm doing that, triple-time, with what I'm learning on TQS! Isn't it funny how much we resist change, and so often, it really is for the best? Also, I decided to do the BOM at a time when I was very anxious about my future, and whether or not I should even look that far - (a whole year!) I appreciate the new friends I've made here and their encouragement! TQS is the best, and quilter friends are the best. Thank you!

I have really enjoyed meeting so many quilting friends here. I love to read or watch anything that comes by pertaining to sewing or quilting so all the other stuff on TQS has just been a real BONUS! Karen

Let me count the ways!!!!!

It is like a group of old friends, now. I can get honest advice - concern - can care about others....and can look, learn, read about quilting 24/7! Woo Hoo.
