Thank you all for your warm welcomes, even all the way from Germany . I am from a small town called Carthage NC, have been here with my Husband forty one years now , I have a son and a daughter, one Grandaughter that I Homeschool. I have done three Quilts so far, I am wanting to do a Japanise Fan Quilt. The silks I have they were P.J's from the Forties that was handed down to me from a Aunt that has passed on. Any comments or concerns?
