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:

That's a great idea to help a newbee
I'm not new but still need help sometimes
Is anyone near Wilmington or Leland No. Carolina?
But I can help anyone that may need some help

Not sure if you would consider me a newbie...I have only put together several 9 patch quilts, which I tied off. And several embroidered baby quilts done in 9 patch style. I have tried hand quilting and I am still working on my dbl wedding ring quilt. But if you would like to adopt me and share any of your knowledge and tips and techniques I would be very grateful.

I'd like to jump in. I'm a complete newbie to quilting. I learned to sew as a child and sewed for many years, then didn't when I had children. I took a quilt class recently because it is the map of Texas and I had to have it. I'm still working on that one. Since then I have taken a class on Bali Star and Irish Chain (just a few days ago). The classes are about cutting and piecing and not really the quilting. I'm still learning quilting terminology and how to understand the directions in a pattern. It's fun and having someone to turn to with questions would be great.
This is a great forum!
