Well here is my very first post. I am a real beginner. A great friend from Arkansas, showed me how she made wedding gifts for family by learning how to quilt the log cabin block. She was very kind to show me how to do it. I bought the supplies, was camping in Florida and from magazines and what my dear friend taught me I began sewing the blocks by hand. Not great but I was proud that I could even understand the directions. I would love to be adopted by a quilter, as I want to learn all I can and pass on to my daughter and four granddaughters.
Thank you for a wonderful place to learn. :XD: :?:

Pillow from scraps that friend gave me: also bought squares to practice potholders before I do a quilt.
