Hot Dog! You go girl! What courage and what clear thinking! You can know for sure that young woman will never forget her encounter with Collady! (I can see you jumping out from behind a bush in your tights and quilted cape scarring off the quilt police! Bow-Tuck on one arm full of fat quarters and a cutting mat and square up ruler in the other. I am sure there is a rotary cutter and a pair of scissors hiding in the bag for those really dangerous characters!)
I hear cheering for you and weeping for the woman who could have spent that time learning about an artistic skill and craft that has a long history from around the world. She had the opportunity to witness the gift of creativity and, she missed it. How sad.
