    :| Hello, I've been wanting to learn to quilt for a long time. I am an avid sewer but just never got into the quilting until my daughter passed away and I received her sewing machine and all the materials that she had. Among them was cutting mats, cutting graph "boards" (I think that's what they're called) and several rotary cutters. There is so much that I feel inundated with all that she had, and yet she had just gotten into a pen pal program that people shared cut quilt pieces with her and she did the same, and then she died months later. So I want to learn and finish what she started.....with a lot of help from this group.
    I live in southeast Georgia and hubby is retired military (Army) all our children are grown and we have several grandchildren and 2 great grands..we are truly blessed.

    Welcome and hello from southeastern West Virginia. I'm so sorry for your loss. I took a quilting class in 1976 six months after the death of my beloved grandmother, an avid quilter, just to feel closer to her. And it did...but 35 years later I'm still hooked. I hope you find a mentor who will help you get started. Please don't get discouraged. Find a local guild...I know there is one close to you....that's probably where you'll find someone eager to mentor you....or a local church group. There's also a great storehouse here in the tutorials. Either way....good luck and God bless you.
