Hey Kayaker! Welcome to the board. We now know you're out here. Hey, Try the doll quilt swap next month. It's a great place to try out new techniques, new ideas etc.
All of ours look great in pictures but we all make boo boos sometimes. (And if we can, we tell each other the best way to hide it - really, we do.) Just jump right in. We're friendly and would love to have you. You have friends here if you couldn't already tell. :)
