Default A former quilter newbie skeptic...

Hello! I am a quilter newbie...just 5 weeks old! Good friend and I decided to take a beginner quilters class and have I have to say, I went along with it, but did not think I enjoy learning to quilt! Much to my surprise, I truly enjoyed this new adventure! I'm experienced in sewing, counted x-stitch, crochet and some knitting. I have always liked 'quilted' jackets and it's my goal to one day make one or two!

Welcome from Southern California! So many of us started out sewing clothing and progressed to quilting. I like it better - you don't have to fit it to someone. ;-)

Hi Libby,
Welcome.
I too was a person who initially did not think I would like quilting at all. However, after a five or six week intro class ten years ago, I was in love. (The class was a gift by a very wise friend who had been urging me to quilt with her for a few years already).

Welcome from the gulf! Quilts so have to be a fancy dance. They can be big square patches. They can be machine, hand or tied. They don't have to have a fancy quilted pattern, they can be in the ditch or cross hatch or as one of the members and I have done is line, no swirls and curls. Try it on a pillow size square. You just might surprise yourself. Have fun in whatever your choice may be.
