Sadiemae -Thank you for the link to the free panto's. I was going to buy stencils, these will work even better!
I'm really not frustrated. I'm aware of my capabilities and my strengths and weaknesses. All elements of quilting are a challenge for me, but I love the end result, so I keep trying to get better at it.
I can bake! We may not have beautiful handmade quilts to keep us warm but we won't starve!
