Leslie,
Welcome aboard! I'm a "rank amateur" myself. But, I love this board. I've learned a lot -- still need to put it all into practice. Sometimes, you just have to say, "I can do anything I put my mind to!" I've got 2-3 quilts in progress now. Have had a hard time really getting started -- my aunt is 86, in a long-term care facility. We just sold her house recently, and have been busy trying to get the house cleared out. I never knew anyone could collect so much "stuff"!
Anyway, welcome aboard. Everyone on this board is very helpful, so don't hesitate to ask if you need help!
