Hi, I have never quilted but want to start. I have no idea where to begin though. Thought I would poke around on here and see if any I can find where to begin. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know. Thanks

Hi and Welcome from NOrthern Indiana ! Whatever questions you have just ask, so many wonderful talented people they can help you in any way :lol: Have you thought about what type of quilting you want to try ? I would suggest start small and simple so you don't get overwhelmed and give up. Just my two cents worth

Hello, and welcome from Missouri! Don't know what is available in your area, but look for a local quilt shop (LQS) and see when they are offering beginning classes, or check to see if the commmunity college has classes. Look in the library for information also! Check to see if there is a guild in the area for more one on one help.
Then, be sure to ask lots of questions! :lol:
