I just wanted to give a shout out to everyone saying how proud I am to be involved in this craft. During my working life, I was in several positions (computers mostly) where people didn't like to share info due to job insecurity or whatever. I was always willing to teach anyone anything I knew and it did cause me some grief (loss of promotion to someone I trained) but was never anything I regretted.
Finally to be involved in something where people give so freely of info and ideas and share their sparks of creativity is immensely gratifying. So thanks to all of you and I believe that this is why quilting will always be around!
