I'm a new quilter that was in hooked from my first quilting class that a friend talked me into taking. I started with a rag quilt, graduated to a patchwork quilt from flannel, and now I'm looking forword to doing my first grownup quilt. I love pattern and color, and now I even have an impressive fabric and pattern stash for a newbie! I'll probably be whinning for help from time-to-time though! I have been watching the message board for a couple of weeks and I'm impressed with the wealth of knowledge, kindness, and generousity of all the members. Thanks for your warm welcome!
