Hello and welcome to the forum from Dallas Tx. You'll have fun and there are plenty of good quilters on here that will help. All you have to do is ask them.

Hey Barny, just settling in with the fabric and machine has been comforting. The patchwork & applique books are a nice way to spend an evening. Thank you for the kindness.

Hi Bons. My favorite swap here on QB is Rhonda's Wall Hanging Swap. There are no rules or requirements except for the time deadline which is about four months long. Plenty of time to experiment, practice and learn new techniques in a small wall hanging. I like being able to work on something in my own time with no rules but plenty of help if you need it.

The 5th swap is coming to a close the end of February. take a look through the thread see if you might be interested in joining. You don't have to an experienced quilter. Learning, sharing and creating is the goal. Click on the thread below and it will take you to the swap.

Bonnie, welcome! I love quilting, and have been caught fondling fabric a few times myself! Applique is awesome. English Paper Piecing, is another great hand work option.
