Hi Merivale! Welcome back to the Quilting Board from sunny Nevada! I too had my doubts as to whether this board was going to survive the "upheaval". I stayed away myself, out of frustration. But I couldn't stay away, and kept sneaking back. I'm addicted to this board, and I couldn't find a better one out there. So here I am. I understand your Happy Tears, believe me.
Happy Holidays!
