To Casamanana -- I have loved quilting (reading about and buying fabric for my "stash" and imagining myself doing!) ever since I played the part of the mother in a community production of "Quilters" in Simi Valley, California several years ago. However, I haven't made many quilts (you'd never guess that by the amount of fabric I have and how-to books!). I now live in Colorado Springs close to you in Palmer Park. I'd love to have you for a mentor--someone to encourage me to quilt, not just think about it! I guess I'm afraid to fail (in the sewing department). I love to design, though. If you think you'd like to be my "mom", let me know! Thanks, WLee
