Hey all! My name is Heather. I'm from West Virginia. I'm totally new to quilting. I've been sewing for a while, and I used to help my grandma quilt long ago. I've not started a quilt yet, but I'm glad I found this forum where I can get help and advice because I'm sure I will need a lot of it!

Does anyone have a simple project or maybe a book I should buy to begin learning? :)

Welcome from Ohio I bought the book Quilting for Dummies and it has a lot of tips and pointers. You can get it at Amazon.com.

Hi Heather!

I'm quite new to this myself, having taken my first quilting course last Thursday. We started with a log cabin block and for homework, we have to do a courthouse steps block. I'm quite enjoying myself.
