Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I absolutely the comradery here... the quilting world is a wonderful place!!
Okay Charm, I will summon my courage and take a pic of my quilt tomorrow provided it isn't raining still.
MissB, where in MO are you from? I have worked in KC 5 times and St. Louis once (on contracts) over the past 12 years and love it every time I go out there.
