Hi CindyinNy, Welcome Aboard.
You just may be a quilter in no time at all. I like puzzles and recognize "shapes". Basic math is not too bad. There are wonderful math charts in the Fons and Porter book. There is a calculator made especially for quilters.
You have a cute dog. Many people on the this board have a dog or a cat. In my household we have one of each needless to say there is never a dull moment.
If you enjoy cooking there is a terrific recipe section. There are really nice people here. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
