I think you will find a wide variety of quilters here...from newbies to experienced professionals. We are like an extended quilting family, helpful, supportive and sharing. Something new to learn here every day. Quite a few of us have no one close who is into quilting, understands our passion, so we congregate here. We talk quilting, kids, life, joke, laugh, kinda like what you would do in an old fashioned quilting bee :D :D :D
