pstoner,I'd be happy to adopt you. I have made a lot of different types of quilts. I have a long arm, so I can help you with that. I've done some pictoral quilts...one for my grandson when he was 9 and caught his first fish. I ordered a beautiful kit with fall scenery, but haven't had a chance to get started on it. I'm not real good at paper piecing, but I'm improving! I can help you get started and we can "improve" together. I live on a farm in southern Oklahoma about 3 mi from the Red River and not far from Denison, TX. PM me if you are interested!
