Hi, Cate. Welcome from Minnesota. Are you a new quilter? Do you want to find inspiration or instruction? The What's New tab at the top of the page will give a good overview of what's happening around the board. Pictures is a good way to get inspired and to get in touch with other members whose work you like. The Main section is a good place to ask questions or to find out information you didn't know you wanted to learn! Have fun!

I couldn't agree more! I have just joined and have jumped in on the March Garden Mug Rug swap! The members have been so lovely and welcoming!

welcome from se TX -- just enjoy and find what you like -- I look at and read most of the introduce yourself, recipes, chitchat, antique/vintage machines, main, and picture sections, but that's my routine--I joined several years ago and love this site with its pictures, inspiration, info, and comments from quilters

Welcome from OHIO! 
When I first started coming to this board, I would always check the pictures and "In search of" and "Mission: Organization" because I was looking for ideas to make my sewing space better. Now, I usually go to What's New? and check for new or updated posts. Just check out everything, and see what your favorite is.

Wow, thanks everyone! I feel very welcomed and you've given me some terrific guidance. I am not a complete newbie, but haven't really tackled a full-size, intricately pieced quilt yet, so will definitely be looking for support and inspiration.
