Sunflower,
Thanks so much, I've been quilting about 15 yrs. I'm mainly into applique's. I'm self taught, but I'm not what you call a traditional quilter. I like to play and explore, I like to push the enevolpe so to speak. I'll defintley take the beginner first, I want a firm foundation. But there are things I want to do that I'd rather get the pro's advice on before pursuing. My youngest son gave me the quilt university's web address. He researchers things for me. Is'nt he a sweetie. I really think this is the route for me. This ole dog loves new tricks. Thanks again for your time and input.
