Thanks to all those who took the time to comment on my first endeavor. Your praise and encouragement are appreciated far more than this note can say. I really feel like I discovered the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow when I came upon this site quite by accident one day. I've learned a great deal in what seems such a short time and continue to do so, from the many wonderful quilters who give advice, information, time and support. You are all such wonderful cheerleaders for us newbees. Wishing Happy Holidays to all the quilting elves.
