Hi to all of you!
@Sewnow you are right that quilt piecing is challenging. On the other hand, you can get a way with quite a few mistakes and still produce a usable quilt.

Back to the bonsai, I thought you might like to see one of my trees. This is a small-leaf ficus that I’ve had for about 10 years.

Lovely. I hope mine will look like that in 10 years!

It’s entirely possible. I will add a few other tips now;
1) Get & read a basic book on bonsai care.
2) Get a few plants. People who only have one tend to “love it to death”.
3) No matter how skilled you are, sometimes plants die. It’s frustrating, but comes with the territory. If a plant dies, just get another one & move on.
4) Never raise a plant you can’t lift.
