An Invitation to Join Our Quilting Forums

By Janet Wickell, About.com Guide to Quilting

Our three quilting forums are an important, and active, part of our online community. You'll make new friends from the very first day you join, and I'll bet that even the most experienced quilters out there will hear about techniques they haven't tried when they talk to fellow quilters from around the world. Don't hesitate to join us if you are a beginner, because our members range from brand new quilters to quilters who've tackled just about every project possible. It's a fantastic community, and it's free.

Join Our Quilting Forums

Joining our quilting forums is free, quick and easy. Our General Quilting forum is the busiest place, pretty much of a quilt-central. The Art Quilts Forum is fairly quiet, but we have a group of quilters who visit it every day to share ideas. The Quilting Professionals' Forum is our newest message board, and the place where quilting pros can talk to each other and tell members about their products and services.

Community Projects & Quilting for a Cause

A large percentage of quilters, including our Quilting Forum members, make comfort quilts for all sorts of purposes. Children in need, quilts for military personnel and their families, quilts to be auctioned for disease research, memorial quilts -- quilters are involved in all of those projects, and more. Please give them a round of applause for the work they do.
