MarshaRini,

This is all so exciting I just can't get stuff done quickly enough so I can begin, LOL. I'm finishing up an embellished skirt, and need to complete another skirt to wear TOMORROW NIGHT, yikes. But, I so want to complete my first hand tied quilt so I can go on to my next quilts, ha ha ha. The ones after the first one I'll begin with the perle cotton.

Good for you, "Never looked back". Hey, do you yet have a photo album here?
