I've been reading your board for a few days now and thought I'd jump in.
I am from the Chicago area. I watched a quilting show last week and got it in my head that I wanted to try it. The woman made it look so easy! Altho, now that I'm reading more, I'm thinking it's not so easy. :lol: I'm still determined to try it tho.
I'm thinking that I'd like to get to the point where I am doing the quilting for others, as a side business out of my home. Get one of those long-arm machines with the frame. Eventually. One day. I've got a long way to go yet as I haven't even done one block yet. Yes, i'm ambitious :lol:
Anyway, I'd like to try a pillow first, then move on to a twin size quilt for each of my boys. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions, but I have a few things to do first. Have to get my sewing machine looked at and re-taught to me. I can't figure out the bobbin for the life of me! I want to take a class to learn the basics of quilting. I haven't really done any sewing since 8th grade. :lol: But I'm excited to get started!
I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and learning from you!
