The daily blog has to be one of them. And the shows. And then there's a tie between the forum, the classrooms, the show and tell, and the contests. Anne in Vancouver, Canada :) |

 | Blog Title: Quilters Quips and Tips: The TQS Site (03/20/2010) | | | RenaM Says: | | | March 24, 2010 at 08:55 pm | | | | 3 things I like the most. The Daily Blog- always interesting, informative, and quite funny at times. Bernina videos- I've watched them many times and always find something that peaks my interest in the feet area (would love to see more). Shows/Quilt Gallery- both so enjoyable. |

 | Blog Title: Quilters Quips and Tips: The TQS Site (03/20/2010) | | | janmt Says: | | | March 24, 2010 at 06:22 am | | | | TQS is such a great opportunity to take many classes without leaving my home. I enjoy being able to pick the shows I want to watch and start and stop them as I need to. Recently, I have benefited from the series on machine quilting. I also like the blogs and the BOM. I have developed my own personal "Bucket List of Quilt Projects" that I would like to complete in my lifetime. My interests are far ranging and I have just completed two quilt tops--a Baltimore Album and an intricately pieced foundation quilt--two items on my bucket list. As I begin the quilting of the foundation quilt, I am incorporating many ideas that I learned in Ricky's Super Seminar and from this site. TQS has really helped me check off a number of things from my personal "Bucket List of Quilt Projects". Today, I am leaving for the AQS show in Lancaster and will no doubt come home with some additions to my list. After a long-promised quilt for my daughter, my next bucket list item will be a Rhapsody Quilt. |

I come to the site at least once a day to see if anything is new. I especially like the Smilebox videos from different parts of the world! Keep up the good work. |

 | Blog Title: Quilters Quips and Tips: The TQS Site (03/20/2010) | | | glendajean Says: | | | March 23, 2010 at 04:30 pm | | | | Well my morning always starts with breakfast, coffee, & TQS & Pam Holland’s blog at my desk around 7am for an hour; this is my favourite time of the day, it is MY time. It took me 50 years to learn to have time just for my -self. But to choose just 3 of my favourite sites is too hard as it depends on my mood where I will go for the day. So I will say Ricky & Alex are 1 & 2 & members number 3 as you ALL keep me in touch with other quilters at home like my private guild as I cannot attend any local guilds. You & your team & these members are soooooooo generous with their sharing & I learn so much from you all. But let’s be honest It’s all tops because you can all ways find your answer on TQS from Bob to Bernina then there is the exciting world trips to the local trips TQS has it all.

 | Blog Title: Quilters Quips and Tips: The TQS Site (03/20/2010) | | | BethMI Says: | | | March 21, 2010 at 04:30 pm | | | | I love (1) the shows, (2) the Daily Blog, (3) the Gallery and (4) the Forum, but I cannot place them in any order. All together, they are my "quilting fix" for the day! I also love the interviews with well known quilters where you ask them about how they got started, how their quilting has changed over the years, how they prefer to quilt, etc. When I see their work, I have a tendency to think to myself "No way am I the same kind of quilter as her (or him)!", but then I hear them talk and I realize that they were right where I am now, and they just kept going! Maybe I can, too! It is very inspiring! I have recommended this website to all the quilters I know. I consider it a great resource. And the Gallery is a joy in itself! BethMI |

 | Blog Title: Quilters Quips and Tips: The TQS Site (03/20/2010) |  | | CMOELLERS Says: | | | March 21, 2010 at 06:57 am | | | | I love all TQS has to offer. To pick out my 3 favorite is hard because the whole TQS experience is just wonderful. I would have to say my three favorite are: 1. The member blogs since I am not able to go to guild meetings and share and learn things with fellow quilters. The member blogs let me share and keep in touch with friends. 2. The Shows - I learn so much from listening to these amazing quilters. I can watch them according to my schedule and re-play them over and over when ever I need a refresher lesson. 3. The Gallery - I get so inspired when I look at what other quilters are working on. The talent of the TQS members is absolutely amazing and full of variety - from art quilts, to contemporary, to traditional. I love it all!!!!! |

I look forward to each new show and watch previous shows in between. Second I am loving the classes. I try and cover all areas of TQS. That is what I love about the site....always something new and exciting. The feeling you get that if you make any comment or suggestion you are HEARD. No only do you listen but you usually reply. This has been the best new find for me and for my Sister to whom I introduced TQS. She is addicted as I am. Yes we are ADDICTED TO TQS! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! Karen |

The list could go on and on. I guess my three favorites in order would have to be (1)Member Blogs, (2)Shows, (3)Daily Blog. I have started and ended my day with TQS so many times in the past three years, and I sure hope I get to do it many more times. Thank you from my heart for this wonderful place.

I e-mail a suggestion one weekend, it's on the Daily Blog the next! For my contribution, I'd say the Member Blogs, the Forum, and the Shows....I have learned so much from each, and feel I've had the opportunity to get to know so many wonderful quilters all over the world. Truly amazing! Nancy |

| Blog Title: Quilters Quips and Tips: The TQS Site (03/20/2010) | | | Pemela Says: | | | March 20, 2010 at 02:14 pm | | | | Its too difficult to list only 3 but ... I log into TQS Daily Blog for puzzles, info, inspiration, trips to distant lands, historical quilts, exhibitions etc.. it's all there. Then I may have look in features which I'm working my way through. 'Watch Shows' is a joy, a real learning experience, innovative and the opportunity to see creativity in the making.Then there's Alex's TQS classroom great tutorials in nice managable episodes. I download the BOM and visit the Store. I have watched Ribbon winning applique with Suzanne Marshall many times and where else woud you get to watch Ellie Sienkiewicz, Ricky and Alex when you want. For me TQS has encouraged and enhanced my love of quilting. It offers real choice, diversity and NEW programmes and articles, it leaves all the other quilting websites in the shade and brings enormous pleasure to my life. I just couldn't mention only 3 things because there are so many things I love about TQS. |

 | Blog Title: Quilters Quips and Tips: The TQS Site (03/20/2010) | | | KakeM Says: | | | March 20, 2010 at 12:15 pm | | | | My first stop is to check the daily blog, then on to members blogs, the forum, any contests or challenges that may be going on and last stop is to look at all the new quilts in the gallery. I make special time to watch the shows and classrooms...I don't want to be interrupted during that time especially. I value the contact with other members and learning from them each time I log on...in any of those areas mentioned above. TQS and our family is truly my favorite way to start my day....every day. Thank you ARRJ for pursuing you dream and including all of us. |

But, I will tell you the order that I check things when I log onto the site: First, I check the Daily Blog to see what's going on there (and if there's a puzzle, I usually do it pretty soon after seeing it, especially if it's a weekend), then I check the Forum for anything new, then member blogs for anything new, then the BOM show and tell for anything new, then the quilt gallery. I also check (though not every day), the Member Stories and Articles. When I have more time, I watch shows and check the projects and contests. Every so often, I check out the Shoppe and let my mind wander to all the wonderful things I could buy if I had unlimited funds ... TQS has been great! I've learned sooo much, but best of all is the friendships I've made with people I never would have met otherwise. Thanks Alex, Ricky, John, Justin, Lilo, Pati, and everyone connected with TQS!

The Daily Blog is my main comfort spot. Just the sight of the site lifts my spirits. The connection with other quilters and my great new friend from Florida, via the Blog, plus the Block of the Month, make TQS my haven and reason to get up in the morning. Thank you so much, and you know I could go on and on. Blessings, Tommi |

 | Blog Title: Quilters Quips and Tips: The TQS Site (03/20/2010) | | | sanann Says: | | | March 20, 2010 at 07:10 am | | | | I love TQS. It is hard to pick just three things, so, I will tell you where I go first. I start at the Daily Blog to see what's up. Always something interesting to read, do, sign up to win something cool (haven't won yet...but am not gonna stop) Next, is either member blogs or forum, depends on how much time I have before heading out to work. I always check out the quilt gallery before leaving. I love seeing the new quilts that have been posted each day. Sometimes there is only one or two, sometimes 10 or more. It a mini quilt show that I get to attend every day in the comfort of my own home. LOVE IT! Sandi in sunny FL |
