Welcome from NW Iowa. We had a taste of your weather at the first of the week. The two dogs and I really enjoyed the weather today. It got to 36 degrees and no wind. We were outside and loved it. We had a horrible winter last year when we were happy to be above zero. Quilting board is a really helpful place. I have learned so many things by just reading the threads. Best of all, no quilting police! People try to help one another.
