_{One final thank you to Miss Marge who made the journey each month more pleasurable in spite of the #403 traffic.}

_{You kept me between the lines. You gave me guidance on words, stitching, ethics, motherhood gardening, baking and how to run a meeting AND MORE! You stitched my samples, proofed my patterns and took me to Fortinos for supper! YUM!}
