I broke the rules and came up with 7 on my quick and dirty list of categories (darn it! Alex said 6 or so - I didn't get to break the rules! :) ):
    1. Beginners/Basic info about TQS and how to use it.
    2. HELP - I'm stuck right now and need some quick info/advice.
    3. Techniques
    4. Fabric/Thread/Batting/Embellishments
    5. Books/Patterns/Magazines
    6. Equipment
    7. Quilts Shows
    7.a Entering Shows - NEW CATEGORY (Robin mentioned this too!)
    7.b Attending Shows
    7.c Hosting Shows[/list:u][/list:u]

Forum / technical stuff would be the LAST topic... This is after all a quilting forum.

Alex, Rickey TQS Shows Updates, Guests and Show Staff ( Justin et all) should be just above that......Athough to be honest I am torn about this but this topic should be all inclusive about the show. So maybe it should be number one. YOU decide.

Too many topics you might get one or two POSTS then nothing for months.

1 or 2
HAND WORK----Hand piecing, Hand-applique, Hand Quiltiing, emboidery, etc... should all be together.

1 or 2
MACHINE WORK..... Machine techniques, fusing, paper piecing,

Third :
Quilting the Quilt...Domestic and LA.. Hand could fit here too

Fourth:
NOTIONS, EQUIPMENT, FABRICS,THREADS, EMBELLISHMENTS, ETC.


5th
TRADITIONAL QUILTS and QUILT HISTORY:

6th
ART and Contemporary QUILTING:

7th
tIPS, TOOLS, TOYS & MISCELLANY

8th
Quilt Shows, Quilt Guilds, Quilt Shops, QUILT RETREATS




I am sure you can come up with better, MORE UNIVERSAL NAMES then I came up with. EVEN these might be too many topics. I like simple navigation of the boards.... Too many topics made this site hard to navigate... it was the ladies that made me come back.... I usually post in THIS AND THAT.


I would like something similar to POST SINCE THE LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE.... but should not roll off as frequently. .... Stay up for 24 hours...... I frequently get time to just read one or two post then have to sign off... When I come back everything else gone and it is hard to figure out what the hot topic is for the day.


I am usually a daily or at least every other day surfer... and I do post frequently because this is my favorite board and favorite people.....





SORRY for the crazy caps... caps locks sticks sometimes since my D-GdSon spilled pop on the keyboard.

Oh goodness, Alex, you're asking for the moon! Only 6? I realized it would be nice to have things a bit more organized -- I think similar threads exist in several sections. But, still, I have learned soooo much by checking out what's flagged as "new" in the Forum -- often in sections I wouldn't think to look at. But let's see. Certainly a section on the BOMs, a section on meeting up with others traveling to various shows/seminars, I'm glad there's a Dear Jane section (someday, I will start my DJ -- I already have fabric!), new tools and techniques, basic techniques (I've really learned a lot there), advice about entering shows, and -- uh oh, that's my 6! I'll bet you're going to get a whole bunch of different answers! (and, no, sigh, I'm not at Paducah, either ...) Robin

when this site was set up we took our best stab at setting up this forum - it is time for a revamp - if YOU got to choose topics (and let's say you have 6 or so to choose from) what would they be and in what order? Inquiring minds want to know -
