Hi,Frenchrose,Welcome to the board.Theres a whole lot of us Ky. gals on here,even a few guy quilters.We sure have alot of fun.Don;t worry what dh thinks,it;s what you think that counts.My dh thinks it is crazy to cut material into little pieces then sew it back together.Also says[waste of time]I tell him if he wants to quit watching tv,then I;ll quit quilting-usally quites him down.ha-ha.When I get discouraged and down,I come to the board,lots of encouragement here.I live in somerset,do you live near here?
