Welcome to you. Work on a project helps with sidelining other concerns and the best of wishes for you. I am almost your neighbor in Pleasant Hill CA and remember with love going often through Merced on the road to Yosemite. I've been quilting for about 25 years as well as writing memoirs of life in CA for I am now 85 and still going strong. Quilting is fun for you are playing with colors. Betsy
