Have you checked the main board? .... there is a section/posting by crazyquilter (I think) called "newbies challenge"
That post is putting out the word for people such as yourself to ask to be "adopted" by a more seasoned quilter so that you can get individual attention to get you started - or to get you out of a jam if you have come to a puzzeling part of an on-going project .....
Although not specific to this QUILTING board, your talents as a seasoned sew-er and embroidery expert will surely be of help to many here ... if only by the PM (Private Message) capability of this board.

The quilts and projects I see here are amazing. I just gave up the idea but still like to see all the beautiful things the group makes. I'd embarrass myself if I even attempted to quilt, if even a wallhanging.
