Cre - I hope all this means there is a little light at the end of the tunnel for DD.
I would just love to see Jinny Beyer's Studio. I order her fabrics on-line and just love them. You certainly covered a bit of ground with your sight-seeing - great that DD felt up to participating.
I'm nowhere near #1 either, but would love to see a sketch of all your swoops and swirls - I was sitting here going cross-eyed trying to visualise.
