Hi NJ. Oh, that's encouraging. Maybe I can teach myself something. Maybe that's what my husband menat by saying I was stubborn enough! You are so right though, when I found Missouri Quilt Company videos and Fat Quarter Shop videos addd to that all the sweet help from bloggers it's just amazing what one can pick up from todays' social media. Tartan, from this site, just mentioned in a post about The Quilt Show.com, as I thought what? I gotta go there! You need to know I don't sew so I spent last year developing an intimate relationship with my machine so "listening" to you guys chat has been fun. I've only appliqued on a machine and it was basic. Matter of fact my owl quilt has elementary applique and I just finished some appliqued shirts and aprons for one of my grandbaby's 1st birthday's. But I'd like to play with that hidden thread applique or some sort of piecing while sitting with the hubs after work as I'm acting interested in the TV!
See you on the board soon.
