I hope that you can incorporate some of these situations into the Successes thread at the top of the forum. Although I have been at this for far too long (more than five years - my threads have been in the Piecing forum but recently started again after a very lengthy sabbatical), all of you who have persevered (and continue to persevere) have my admiration and gratitude.
