Oh My Goodness - a missus Gorilla! How wonderful!
Thanks for the update, Patrice and WELCOME TaliaRose. Since you have cats, the "not being a good sewer (yet) can easily be overlooked. Don't you know that cats and quilting go together? So you are on the right road, lol.
I think you will find this group creative, energetic, caring, and usually well-behaved. Your moderator team keeps a close eye on topics that have the tendency to get out of hand, and as needed - put an immediate stop to unpleasantries.
Wishing you a successful time as leader of the QB.
