your quilt is lovely vickig, i have just learned to sew in jan of this year while in our winter place in arizona. then problem being is my learning partner and support group is there and i have checked here where we live in alberta during the summer but there is no groups, people, or support centre were i can get the help i desperately need. you are lucky to be able to find an area to learn and take classes. i am still hoping i will find someone here to share this with and help me learn. wish me luck .
