Thank you for sharing the links and your feedback. The hand work is amazing and I'm truly inspired by the aesthetic. I'm still learning the terminology and really like the uniformity of color. The neat thing about sharing is what you learn about yourself in the process. :)

Aunt Becky has shipped so I should be receiving it towards the beginning of the week. :). I will check out the hiro needles. I did buy some better quality needles. Actually I bought some $35 worth of quilting stuff last night and only spent $17. I hit a sale I didn't even know was going on . So, It is a great end to a fantastic week and looks like starting next week I will be able to practice with Aunt Becky. I love all the information you all have shared with me. Greatly appreciated.
