I haven't been around very long, but I can tell you that this place is probably the most welcoming site on the web. You don't even have to try to quilt.....there's a section for other stuff.
But be warned: you will become one of us...and sooner rather than later. You will spend way too much money to build a stash and you'll hoard fabric and notions. You will spend way too much time on this site chatting it up with friends. Don't say we didn't tell you beforehand.
Of course, there will always be an answer to your question or problem. There will always be someone to listen to your worries and let you cry. There will always be something new to learn and someone willing to teach you.
Now, if you don't run, it's your own fault....and you're welcome. (And I'd love to be your fairy quiltmother.)
