Butterflywing, I think what you are stating is valid. For those of you who are or have buddies, take stock in this. Your buddy is there to talk to about quilting in general or whatever else you may choose to talk about. Lets not forget what we do best here - talk with the goup as a whole and get lots of opinions. What I am trying to say is that you should not neglect to answer questions or share on the QB first and take it from there. You must decide for yourself which way to go but don't forget all the rest of us who are what makes this board so great. Let us all hear from you about your experiences, good and bad. Show us your work so that we can all drool over it and share your ideas. I hope that you will all not take each other for granted and we may all continue to learn from each other as a group. This Board is the best. Let's strive to keep it that way. Love you all, Donna
