The beauty of the online world today is that easier than ever to get in touch with like-minded people who share the same interests as you do, and let's be honest, we are all here with one thing in mind, right? – quilting!
So, I decided that a Purdy Bird Quilt-A-Long Forum on my website might be helpful as a way for quilters to support each other and to have a productive place to learn through positive discussions, exchange of ideas, sharing of techniques & relevant quilting knowledge, in a way that is also respectful to other members. By the way, the QAL starts August 31st - have you signed up for the newsletter yet?
Currently, there are two QAL categories – one in ENGLISH and one in GERMAN, and I hope that you will put them to good use! They are only successful and helpful when YOU participate!
... AND you don't have to be a part of the QAL to join in the conversation, offer your advice, and share your quilting knowledge. The more people that participate, the more everyone benefits.
Since I live in Germany, I know exactly the challenges of operating in foreign language. So, especially with my German quilters in mind, who are fluent in English, but perhaps not familiar or comfortable with specialized sewing and quilting terms / vocabulary, I hope that this is a valuable resource for the QAL!
Who should join the forum?
- If you are a beginner quilter and have questions about quilting & quilting techniques?
- If you have experience with quilting, but are perhaps uncertain about quilting terms, vocabulary, or explanations.
- If you are an experienced quilter, and are able to add value to the discussion by passing on what you know, or about techniques.
- If you are a quilter wanting to have contact with other quilters
Are you brave enough to be the first and get the conversation started? Jump on in and help me get the forum up and running!
