Rainy Day: Are you a member of the Victorian Quilters. try and find some one who is willing to teach you one- on -one. If you look them up either in the phone book or on line, there must be some one who is willing to help you and will be patient with you while you learn. Yes Queensland is a long way from Melbourne and neither of us can just visit the other when ever we need to. I know my quilt group have friends who will help you no matter how slow you go, like this quilt I am doing--nothing is working like the pattern says so I will finish it the best I can( I don't want any more UFO's) try and find out what you can,I would like to know how you go.
