:D Hi Sharon, welcome from Mad Gertie in Kent. Ia'm also a beginner ( 1 year in September ). Like you I have gone throuh all the grafts you mentione throuh the years,but after retiring last year , I took up quilting and I am now totally addicted, just like every body else on this web-site I think ? Mind you I don't think I could have afforded this hobby before ! I am too fond of buying materials, my stash is growing alarmingly fast !!!!!.
I finished so far a queen-sized quilt,a wall hanging, a cushen and Iam in the middle of quilting a quilt for my Grandaughter,everything by hand which I enjoy .Happy quilting!!!!!
