Good for you finding a constructive "way out of your one horse town" through quilting and art.
Those of us who live in heavy populated areas envy your absence of traffic problems, we have traffic jams, toll roads, toll bridges and toll tunnels, red lights, yellow lights that have hidden cameras (camera catches you going through the yellow and you get a traffic ticket in the mail), flashing lights, jug handles, stop signs, no turn signs, right turns only, exit on the right only, exit on the left only, road closed signs that send you on alternate routes that get you lost, etc.
