To sushi in snowy Minnesota, thank you. I do try to keep smiling even if it is only to make people wonder what I'm up to.



. If I get too serious about things (and unfortunately I am one who gets lost in the details and the elusive goal of perfection), I have to step away from projects for a while until I can return with an open mind and an objective eye. At that point, I usually have learned something that allows me to finish with ease. Somehow, I always have three or four quilts in some form of progress. I don't like to use my seam ripper too much due to the fabric damage potential, so I plan to experiment with piano keys, hopefully, this weekend. Thanks for responding
