Wildyard, I read your post with tears in my eyes. I've always wanted to learn to quilt but never could afford lessons or knew anyone to help me. Finding this board was a gift from God and I really do appreciate all of you and the way you accepted me and offered help when I needed it with no questions asked.
It does feel like family here and I like that feeling very much!
I have been a memember of another board (not quilt related)for 11 years and have met many of them in person. We are very close on that board and it looks like this one is the same way.
You've all made me feel like I've always been a part of your group and that I can ask for help if and when I need it and it's given freely without any hesitation.
As a novice, just learning it's a wonderful feeling! Thank you for allowing me to be part of your "framily". God Bless each and everyone of you.
