Shannon, your friends sent you in the correct direction. This board is like home to us, and as you have heard, "There'a no place like home." Be careful, once the bug bites, . . . well, just read all about it in the threads. Stashes, studios, vintage machines, embroidery, appliqué, photography, fur babies and quilt inspectors. When someone threatens you with the Quilt Police, ignore them. We'll be here to bail you out.
Many warm welcomes from Georgia.
