Thanks....I have been on this board for quite a few years and look at all of the beautiful work that is done by everyone. I am a self taught quilter. I have learned by watching videos, reading books and watching quilting shows on tv. I had an owner of a local quilt shop here in Mount Vernon, Ohio tell me that I really needed to take a beginning quilt class. I worked for over 20 years at our local walmart and I used to tell my customers not to stress over their quilts. The whole idea is to have fun with what you are doing. If you stress out over it, it ruins the whole purpose of sewing. I no longer work for Walmart (thank God), and am now working at Pat Catan's. It is a craft store. Most people have not heard of it. The manager and my fellow workers are absolutely wonderful. I am working part time there and have absolutely no stress which is more than I can say working for Walmart. I finished the last 4 1/2 years working in fabrics and crafts. I have read all of the complaints about the fabric department and I can appreciate their comments, but to work in our shoes, it was unbearable. So glad to be out of there. Thanks for listening
