This is my first blog and I will take advice from anyone on how to compose these.  I have joined in because of Anna in her beehive in Sisters, Oregon.  I happened upon her blogs somehow and am addicted to them.  She is so informative and so sweet.  I feel like she is talking directly to me and I know I can learn from her tutorials.  So, I am joining in on the fun.  Have been quilting for years and prefer hand applique.  Arthritis prevents me from doing much hand quilting now, and I have peripheral neuropathy as a result of chemotherapy.  I am a Cancer survivor and my stitches are no longer small nor invisible.  I am just grateful to be able to hold a needle and sew again, because for over a year post chemo, I couldn't.  So, all advice is welcome and hello to all.
