A friend came over last Sept and we made a quilt in a day - trip around the world. We finished the top in a day. Sewed, sewed, sewed and the hubby supplied us with food/no breaks...and my first time using a rotary cutter. and first time on a sewing machine in 20 years...but have been hooked ever since....I have learnt from watching videos on the internet, this board, and bought a lot of book...but the books are not as good as watching the videos and getting learning from here...the board also helped me learn how to use my sewing machine,..You guys are AWESOME.
