Howdy! We live not too terribly far from you (by Texas standards that is). And yes...the wildflowers are awesome aren't they?!
Welcome to the board. I'm actually a very newbie quilter (only on my second one) but am finding lots of useful information here and TONS of encouragement by just looking at everyone's beautiful creations! You might want to google quilting frames and see what you come up with. There are so many out there that are great and I think would be w/c accessible. If you have a local quilting group they might also be a good resource. I went to my first 2 weeks ago and found the women to be very friendly and willing to help with so much. If you need help just getting the layers together and up on a frame I bet someone would love to come over and help. Once it's all set up then you could quilt from your w/c.
Happy quilting!
