What a blessing you've been to me and to so many others! I appreciate the encouragement and moral support shown to those of us who are new or who are self-taught like me. I've laughed with some, I've wept for others, and I've learned so much from everyone. Crafty Bear's tips, Eddie's tutorials, and Butterflywing's humor are priceless. Thank you, Quilting Board, for such a fine forum. I look forward to many years of happy stitching with you at my side.
Sincerely, Judy in Texas (a former lurker!) :-D
