BellaBoo you're a Rebel! Love it!
This board is absolutely one of the most helpful spots I have found. As a new quilter I just post a question and everyone (and I mean everyone) is soooo great and quick to respond. I have never felt like my new status makes me less of a quilter and I feel encouraged by all the responses I've received. It's as if the "older/wiser" quilters take pride in helping new folks along. The adopt a newbie program ROCKS and I've been so lucky in that aspect too! My adopted mom, Montanblu is awesome.
