This is a wonderful place. I have met some great quilters. You will do just fine. Congratulations on doing something for yourself. I had a child get into alcohl/drugs about 23 yrs ago. The counselors kept telling me I needed to do something for my self. I signed up for my 1st class and still having my own personal "therapy". I would not be still going to a counselor. My son is married, and is a wonderful father to 2 precious kids. I love to quilt all aspects and to meet other quilters.
