I just organized my hall closet, and in the process, came up with the number of quilts I have made so far....24!!! Maybe I have to quit calling myself a beginner?? I have kept most of my quilts, so the ones I have made for charity or have given away can be easily calculated....and I still am shocked that it is 24!!
Most patterns still look too complicated to me, but maybe I can call myself an intermediate quilter now. I have been quilting 2 years. I retired 3 years ago, and, even though I fought quilting, I can't believe how much I have enjoyed this hobby. (I did not think I was patient enough to quilt....that is why I fought it.)
Anyway, I will quit saying that I am a beginner... I did join this forum quite soon after I started quilting, and you have all been so helpful. I could not have changed the blade in my rotary cuter the first time without the advice that I got immediately when I posted my question.
This is a good place to be, no matter what level of quilter I really am. :)
