Today is New Year's eve for those of us who celebrate the lunar calendar (some of you may know it as Chinese New Year). I want to wish my TQS friends good health, happiness and prosperity as we approach the threshold of the Year of the Snake. To those who are facing challenges of one sort of another, may you find serenity on your path to an answer or solution. Thinking about us as quilters, there is a Chinese proverb that says something to the effect of "If you want happiness for a lifetime, help someone else." Through my association with you in this forum, I have found boundless help from fellow quilters; I hope this gives you happiness for a lifetime! Happy New Year! (
Xin Nian Kuaile! or
Gong Hei Fat Choy! in Cantonese)
