I am really taken back by so many replies. I am also surprised by the amount men that I have met at some of the shows that have gotten into quilting. My wife and site inlaws say I get my talents from my Carpentry skills, Machine and trades experience but I like to think I'm just a newbee at this as I see soooo many real peices of work that are serious work. Thanks this is a driver for me to keep going.
