beginner & wanting to learn
 

Hello I am Speedy48 and thats because I don't have enough patience to sew.
I want to learn now that I've retired. Always admire beautiful quilts that are home made.
I am hoping the first one I make would be just as pretty.:confused:

Hello, welcome from Oklahoma!!!

HI "Speedy" I am from Co. I took up quilting because I thought (thought) that I had a chance of getting the seams straight because most of them are short,. I took it up about 12 years ago,(Iam 70) and just love it. Have fun, we are just getting good, Have a glorious day. JO

A big SHO-ME welcome from Missouri! My advice would be to start with something easy - my first quilt, started about 45 years ago is still unfinished in my closet because I thought that I could do a very hard pattern as I had sewn lots of clothing - but I was wrong.

Hey Speedy sounds like the Jelley Roll Race is your quilt!! Quilting will teach you patience. After you rip out the same seam 4 times because it keeps coming out wrong. You will find your "Zone" where nothing else around you matters but getting that row straights and all the seams match up!

Hi from Ohio!

Hello Speedy..& welcome. I am sure you will make some beautiful quilts. I have only been quilting myself about 3 years. I am self taught, no classes, just alot of reading and watching tutorials. So if I can learn I KNOW you can. Best wishes on your new endevor. Can't wait to see your first quilt.

Hi from Washington

Another welcome from Minnesota! How exciting to start the new adventure of quilt making and retirement too. I'm seconding the advice to look at some of Jenny Doan's videos on YouTube, as they'll inspire you.

No patience! Enjoy the 1/4" seam. :D
