Hi Susan. I am from central Illinois. Don't get discouraged with quilting, we all had to start out at some point. Some times we gt discouraged but then sometimes we are so pumped up from a project we get so excited! I have been quilting about 6 yrs and I still have those days. Guess it is part of the quilting bug. Lots and lots of information & ideas on this board,enjoy!
