Hi Randy, welcome from one of many quilters on this board from Colorado. Guys are great quilters. My DH is beginning to take interest. He is beginning to help me cut and he always helps me square up, I wouldn't be surprised to find he would be a great FMQ as he is very artistic. My Dad had three brothers and they grew up on a cattle ranch up high in the mountains where the deep snow made for long winter evenings. My dad and his brother knit the most beautiful sweaters and socks imaginable. The third brothers could out crochet any of the women in the family, and the youngest brother did some of the most beautiful cross stich I have ever seen.. . . and. . . . .I'm pretty fair with a hammer and nail even if I do say so myself.
