Hi there. I have been reading this site for about 5 months now, and decided it is about time that I join in on the fun! I have been trying to learn to quilt for about 2 years now. At this point I would be described as a fabric collector, but need to gain the confidence to start cutting that fabric into pieces to make all the beautiful, artistic quillts that I see here. I notice that everyone is so encouraging to the newbies. So with your teaching and kind words, I hope that I too, can begin my quilting journey. Thanks!
