There are some "newbies" out there that would probably welcome our help and guidance and have lots of questions that maybe they are too shy to ask, or they may not know how to ask about certain things, for fear that they will be considered "dumb questions".
So, QUILTERS,UNITE!!!
p.s. don't take butterjoy, she's mine! :lol: :D :roll:
I'm new to the party. I'm a quilting newbie, have only 2 finished lap quilts and 2 works in progress, both queensize (approx) thrown together quilt-tops. I am into outdoor -themed quilts and super-heroes! I'm of the Dorky-homeade look philosophy of quilting. If you haven't read the book, I highly recommend it.
Is there hope for me? Is there a mommy out there for me? Or perhaps a mentor daughter? I'm 54 years old and I never was much of a seamstress - think seventh grade home-ec. I do my quilting by sewing machine (Singer's Quilter Companion).
