thank you teriamn, appreciate the compliment. I learned by watching videos online, of course lots of book, and I belong to a group called Inland Northwest Machine Quilters here in Spokane and learn a bunch when I go to meetings. We have them four times a year and always have some teaching involved with two of them. I have been to one longarm retreat last year which landed me a Best in Category for machine quilting at the WSQ Quilt Show last fall. I have been quilting for approximately 9-10 years now so it is coming along, but not where I want to be. Lots more to go. So thank you for the encouragement.
No worries, girl, I am going to love yours because the fabric choices are going to match perfectly with a doll quilt I have received and I am going to have a set to put in my office and make it cheerful for me to enjoy. Knowing your heart went out to finish it with your health issue makes it even more sentimental.
