Not only am I new this board, I'm new to quilting. I have been a cross stitcher for almost 30 years; I decided I wanted to learn how to sew so that I could do more with my cross stitching. My husband got me a 1948 Singer Featherweight for Christmas - mint condition - it came Wednesday, and I took a sewing class on Saturday - it purrs! So then I started thinking about how my sister-in-law is a master quilter, and I think I want to learn how. I'll be taking some classes soon, and learning all I can.
