I don’t know what happened to the email, but the Q4P ring is closing on 11/6. (update: my email account says that I have sent too many bulk emails today – and that was only one!).
 I thank everyone who has helped with the ring recently.
 I have enjoyed everyone I have met through here – but I think it is time for this incarnation of q4p to close. Suzette (swooze) has asked to take over the ring. I am perfectly fine with her using the q4p name and idea and running with it to make it her own. Though I would prefer it if she started a whole new ring (she can still use q4p name, etc). I will keep the ring up long enough and if she wants to set up her own details and such I will pass along any new information from her .
Thank you all and I have met some really nice people through the ring and I will still continue to visit your blogs regularly.

Hi Kim!
I just read that the ring will close next week and I thought that I missed something…………
And now I found your post.
It`s really bad that this happened to you! Unbelievable!
Thanks for your patients and the good job you`ve done!!!
It´s wonderful that Suzette will continue the ring. I really enjoy reading our blogs.
Lots of greetings from Austria
ELKE
Kim, thank you for all you’ve done for us – it’s much appreciated. I hope you’re going to continue with your blogging, and I hope I can stay with the ring.
*hugs*
Tazzie
It is such a pity and surprise! Well, all I want to say is –Thank you!
I shall give you a bow, as it is my custom.
Wish you all the best!
Everything has a natural end, but it’s always sad to see. Thank you so much for all you’ve done. You began a ring that included those of us that are a little more casual with quilting and didn’t quite fit in other rings. You helped us all tiptoe into the world of blogging and helped us “meet” so many nice new friends! I hope we can still follow your adventures – (((HUGS)))
Dear Kim! I’m really sorry to read this post saying you will stop the ring, but I can understand your decision. Thank you for creating it, and letting all of us get to know one another! The ring has been a great way to meet bloggers I never would have heard of otherwise. Take care! And I will keep on reading your blog! Hugs from Anne Ida
I didn’t see an email and am confused about why the ring is closing, but that is your decision. Thanks for having us!
Thank you for all your work. I’m sure it wasn’t an easy task. I have met many wonderful people via your ring and am most grateful. Thank you again for doing this.
Hello Kim.
If you have sent a mail about the ring closing I have not received it, but found out by visiting your blog today.
I am grateful for the work you have put into running the ring and I appreciate that it is a lot of organization.
Sometimes life take turns that calls for new or other actions.
Take care – I will still stop by and say hello

Kim, thank you for all your work in setting up and supervising this ring. Such a good job you’ve done. –Susan
I didn’t get the e-mail, but respect your decision to close the ring.I have enjoyed it very much, and appreciate all the work you put into it.
I am sure this was a hard decision to make. I had already told you how much I appreciated the ring. Thank you for all the time and energy you gave to us.
Take care,
Angela
Thank you for having the ring. I’m sorry it will be going- and I hope all is okay with you.
Just saw your post and wanted to wish you all the best in whatever you do – of course we will be watching from afar. The ring gave me a great start to blogging – thank you so much.
I’m away in Houston and internet has been scarce to use….so getting this news a few days late (and never got the email about closure). I’m kinda sad, but you need to do what’s for the best! I hope everything is ok.
Thank you Kim for all the work you put into this ring. I have met many bloggers and now they are friends. Your patience and time for keeping this ring running this long is most appreciative. Best of luck and keep on quilting!
Kim–I was surprised to see you decided to close the Q4P ring–but I’m sure you have very valid reasons. We are all happy to have been a part of this ring and meet so many more great quilters. I hope you still stay in contact and wish you the best!
Thank you Elke – it was a choice I made. It was just time for it to happen.
Tazzie – thank you – I will continue with blogging , but it is just time to let a few other things go.
Ming – thank you.
Su Bee – your welcome – I am glad so many could find a “home” in the rings. But as you said things must come to an end some time; I am glad Swooze is continuing the webring.
Anne Ida – your welcome – and I will be continuing my blog.
Lisa – for some reason my email account wouldn’t let me mass email any more that day. Thank you for being a part of the ring.
Carol – your welcome.
Hanne – thank you for continuing to visit my blog and being a part of the ring.
Susan – your welcome.
Jane B – your welcome – sorry you didn’t get the email; a lot didn’t. It was due to my email account saying I couldn’t mass email any more that day.
Angela – it was a hard decision, but I think the right one for me right now. My life has changed and now it is time to move on.
Samantha – all is well with me, just things have been more hectic lately – leaving no time for the ring.
Bettsy – I am glad you got a great start to your blogging because of the ring. Thank you for the support.
Toni – sorry about the late news and the shock. It was a decision I had been mulling over for a while. I hope you had a great time in Houston – I am sure envious of those who got to go.
Rose Marie – thank you very much for your kind words.
Karen – thank you for your support and kind words. I will continue to blog, but not be a part of a ring – It will make me feel less guilty about not getting to everyone’s rings and commenting.
