I was forced into early retirement from a disability way to soon :cry: I have never let it stop me from being as productive as possible! Quilting has provided me that avenue. I have a lot to do on a quilt that I want to get finished or at least the top completed as I just bartered today piano lessons for a quilt. I don't know how long it will take her to decide on what she would like, so it just means I have to get moving on what I am doing. I suppose I will post a picture as soon as I get the quilt going. thanks for the warm welcome. Julia
