I would like to post a picture of my first quilt that I made. I don't know where I am suppose to post it to. I would like it to show up in pictures on the resources. Can anyone help me?
I am new to quilting so I have a couple of questions about somethins I read in the resources. What is an awl, and how do you use it? What is EQ printing? Is it done with a machine, if so what kind? Is special material used? Thanks

This is also my first embroideried quilt! ...

Problem: my husband and I do not like living in separate parts of the house. He is a Xbox360 gamer/computer geek and I am a crafter/quilter.
