Glad you joined us and especially glad that you weren't put off or run off by a possible misunderstanding.
I was always taught 'if you can't say something nice....don't say anything at all'. That is still good advice to remember even in our Golden Years.
I, like you, admire Jenny Doan and her family. Her quilting skills, and people skills are to be complimented. The work that she and her family have done to benefit Hamilton MO is outstanding.
Having said that, she is encouraging a lot of beginners to try the world of quilting and doing it with a smile and an easier way to begin. Now how great is that?!
Good luck in your journey. Be sure to keep a journal of the work you complete with pictures, dates, and who received the quilt. Enjoy.
