I do not think the ladies have been offended because you wrote in Spanish; it's only that the title is somewhat puzzling, like your first post (when I first read it, I thought that you needed help with translation... and it turns out that you speak very good English, which makes it all the more confusing).

In short, it's quite easy to create misunderstandings in the written form, and still easier when using more than one language at a time. It's not a serious problem, as long as we all do our best to solve it.

That said, certainly there's no place like this in spanish (or at least I couldn't find it). It's a pity, because quilting has been a long tradition in my country (see Almazuela). However, nowadays it's an art that is being lost, so... if you are willing to create a site in spanish I will be pleased to visit and participate.
Muchísimas gracias Silk. The intent of my post was to "grab" attention to those who would be able to help. Many times posts get relegated to other pages & eventually lost. Thank you for responding. Are you located in a Spain? Almazuela is a city or a technique? I'll be looking into it. Saludos!
