welcome Miss Theo! So glad you joined in. I didn't even have the guts to take sewing in school...:0)I took shop instead:))I have learned here too about 3yrs ago....and, quilting is why too:))You will love it all! Find a pattern that has many different blocks...you will learn so much from doing them (I did!). I still am trying to master the perfect arena...and as my friend says 'if you can't see it on a galloping horse, it don't count'...so, I hold on to that thought:))Keep us posted on your creativity!!
