I'm also a big fan of Nancy Z! When I read your post, I thought, "Gee! Wish I could meet her!" Then I realized that if I did have a chance to meet Nancy, I'd probably get all tongue-tied and not be able to think of anything even half-way intelligent, to say!
Being around extreme talent tends to do that to me . . . so if I ever meet any of y'all, please don't show me any really gorgeous quilts you've made . . . or I'll suddenly start babbling nonsense!
(more nonsense, than usual)
