You're going to love this site, and all the wonderful people involved in quilting here to encourage and help you. Without sounding too dramatic, this site has been a lifeline for me. I have been home and unable to work or go out much for the past year due to having my back rebuilt (3rd time for back surgery). With this site, you can talk to friends you haven't met yet all day and night!
So, welcome from Sheree from Chicago. I will be here to cheer you on girl!
