Hey there-- I am new also. I am from Pass Christian, Mississippi. We were wiped out by Hurricane Katrina, but my sewing machine came with me. It has taken me 16 months to look up and think I might want to quilt again.
The problem is this-- I was able to evacuate a very, very old quilt belonging to an 87 year old friend (it was his grandmother's). It has scalloped edges, which this site has helped me figure out how to re-do. It is so old, however, that there are places that are worn out. Should I attempt to fix them??
Thanks...............
