Making progress!  There is another wonderful person to thank in my journey.  Carole Florian's support has been invaluable with her literary feedback, and also her eagle eyes.  Stitches will hopefully be added to her discerning book club group's list of reads for 2013.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I just got my manuscript back from my wonderful editor, Kristin Thiel, at Indigo Editing and Publishing!  Boy, the rules of punctuation have changed dramatically over the years!  I have my work cut out for me over the coming days.  Once I buff it up, I'm ready to go!
