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).

I have done a king size log cabin quilted on my own machine......not a long arm, won't do that again.........talk about learning........sheesh............I changed my thread..........light for the light areas of the block, and dark for the dark...........but I am pleased with the end result.

Please Adopt me....I can make the very simple log cabin pattern, but need help in so many areas. I am interested in learning more about FMQ on a frame, paper piecing, and am very interested in learning to do an art quilt (purchased the book, but haven't started any yet).
Thank you for being interested in being my mommy or daddy.
