Hi LynnVT and thanks so much for your message and "how to" advice.
I love seeing all the welcoming messages, but not sure if I answer each one indivually or do a big blanket "thank you!" to all.
Yes we are in a so called winter but many in Canada and USA would say we don't have REAL winters over here - our cars start without anti-freeze or heating, we rarely use snow chains (only those in the small snow areas) and we probably have more problems with dirt, dust, overheating, fires and floods. I am trying to finish a quick quilt at the moment made from fabric sent by a good friend in Canada. Then I need to tackle the issue of finding out about a quilt i want to try but can't find a pattern or instructions or even a name for its style - I took a photo of it at a quilt exhibition last year. Cheers!
