Hi, Everyone. Thank you for all the welcome messages. I especially appreciate it as I have been a member since February, but received only the newsletter and was able to read the postings. I must have pulled the right lever the other day and was finally able to enter my profile on the forum. (I was frustrated!) Believe me, I will rely on you for advice and assistance. I have made a fair amount of fleece blankets, have assisted at my church in charity quilting and have done a couple small strip quilts, and am working on one large one now. I have done no pieced quilts, but hope to work on that this fall. I read, study, plan, draw and collect lots of patterns and how-to's, many from all of your experiences. Thank you and I am looking forward to getting to know many of you. Karen (Teach)
