Welcome from Illinois. What a beautiful quilt! You aren't too far away from Danville, Illinois. You should come to a quilting retreat at Threads of Time. The next open retreat is this month--I think the third week, from Sunday afternoon until Thursday afternoon at $35 per night. Just bring whatever you want to work on, your machine, nightie and toothbrush. LOL The next one will be in September.
