I'm so happy for you!!! I wish I had a quilting buddy. I think that's the best part of your story...you made a new quilting friend. And one on our board. I wish someone from this board lived by me. I live in Cove, Oregon in case there is someone who lives close by and wants to meet up with me for coffee and gabbing. I live by LaGrande, Baker City, and Pendleton, Oregon. Anyone out there live by me???? If so, PM me please!
