HI Carrie,
i too am new to the board and quilting. you have joined a good site as you learn so much just by reading everyones comments. i have only finished one small wallhanging and am doing a second. There are so many things i want to do so i am going to stick to small wallhangings as they take me so long to make so would hate to make a full size quilt as that might never get finished.
:lol:
i also like gardening and reading just like you do but am passionate about quilting. Your wallhanging was beautiful so hope you keep on quilting!! :thumbup:
