Barb,
I have been a bit distracted recently and just found your thread today. Thank you for telling us about your quilting partner. My husband is not very creative, just a great cheerleader and is good at so many other things. Our one son sews but not much as much as he used to. He appreciates quilts so maybe someday. . .
My favorite designer is a very talanted fellow, Robert Callaham.
