As a new serious quilter( I have done plain big blocks before) I love this site. So much help and encouragement is priceless. I have also been amazed at how many people are still quilting. I was really encouraged to continure when so many people said such nice things about the john deere quilt I did for my GG S. So thanks to all. I am also waiting for my snow bird friend to get back to Washington state so we can meet. smie. :P :P :P
