Hello! I�m the Editor of the Quilting site, my name is Judie Bellingham. I encourage you to take advantage of this forum, and all it has to offer. Ask questions, get ideas, answer other's questions - forums are a wonderful place for learning and friendship!

Here�s a few guidelines for posting on this forum.

1. Please refrain from posting new topics for the purpose of plugging your web site. If you have a valuable link to share, with information that will help to answer someone's question, by all means, please post it. After all, many come to these forums for answers. If you are looking to promote your website, please keep it on topic (Quilting) and in the signature portion of your profile. This will allow you to share your information with each post you make, without filling each topic with web site links. We want real live questions and answers here!

2. This should go without saying, but please be nice. Obviously, no foul or abusive language will be permitted.

3. Report abuse - if you'd like to report a post that violates the guidelines here you may report it by contacting me via the PM (private message) feature.

4. Keep in mind these guidelines are applied to the quilting forum area. Each topic in these forums is moderated by it's Editor. So each topic will have it's own set of rules to follow - some similar or very different than mine here - so please be sure to know the guidelines for which topic you are posting under.

5. Please check the posting guidelines periodically for updates. As I mentioned I am new here, so unforseen problems can always be expected. Any issue needing the attention of all visitors, will be addressed here.

Thank you for respecting my guidelines for the Quilting Forum. Posts not keeping within these guidelines may be edited or removed at anytime. Notice for deletions will be given to you via PM (private message). Explainations for edits will be given in the edited post itself. Inappropriate posts that may not be yet covered here will be removed at my discretion. Please check back periodically for updates. If you have any questions feel free to ask, and please enjoy your time here!

Thank You!

Just found the site today....looked around and I like what I see so far. All you ladies seem so nice. I have a quilt top I'm working on and I just know I'm going to have questions when I get done on what to do next!

Welcome Ladybird532, hope you enjoy your stay. Ask any questions you'd like, there's heaps of well read and experienced lovely quilters that can help you.
Cheerio for now

Hi Judy. I have been receiving your emails for some time now but this is the first time I have been in the forum. I wanted to thank you for the emails. I have found inspiration from the ideas and have used one or two of the patterns you have found, infact have just run off the Muffy Moose to cheer up the winter months. Even when the emails have had nothing patternwise for me I have had the pleasure of reading your messages and often you have brought a smile to my face when I really needed it. Thanks for all the pleasure your efforts give us. Margaret

Hello Margaret, how lovely to hear from you. Welcome to Bellaonline Quilting, I hope you enjoy your stay with us. I'm so pleased that you enjoy my "interruptions" each week, I try to keep it brief, but I can rabbit on sometimes. The Muffy Moose pattern is a cutie, and I hope you have fun with that.

Take care and stay in touch.

Hi, Judy, I am NEW to any form of quilting, but am interested in 3-D applique after receiving a framed gift done as a picture in 3-D fabric. I am desperately looking for a pattern from Heartworks Pattern Co.---out of business about 5 years ago that offered patterns in this form of applique with snowmen,cats, dogs etc. I hope I am posting to the right site for any help or directions that I can get. I couldn't find the "posting" option for applque the forum. I appreciate any help. Greylady

Hi Everyone, I am new to this forum and would like some information on receiving posts. I am interested in a few of the sections under the crafts heading and would like to know how I indicate what ones I am interested in & how I receive notification when a post is made. Is there an email sent out daily with articles pertaining to the selections I have made. I am a member of another forum and both are completely different and that is why the questions. Please bear with me until I get use to this forum. Thanks to all.

Hi Judy Kay, I think (the optimum word is think) that when you log on you'll get an icon that shows that there have been new entries made. At least that's what happens for me, but I'm the moderator, so things might be a little different.

Let me know if this explains things for you and welcome to Bellaonline Quilting.

Cheerio for now

Judie,I look forward to your post every week. You have a great way with words and are an inspiration to me about keeping my projects and involvements with my guild moving along.

Anyway, I have a question. How do I add a picture to my post. I am a little computer challenged and don't know what to do when it asks for a URL for my photos. I only store my photos on my computer so it mean that I have to save my photos somewhere else?

I hope you can help me. Thanks
