Welcom aboard. We are glad you are here. Let us know what we can do for you. A real newbie, wow, you are in for an adventure of your life. QWuilting is the best hobby you can have. At least I think so. Many have let you know best places to start. You LQS is always a great resource for beginning help on a first project. Start with a wall hanging or table runner with a simple pattern and work up from there. When we start to big, this comes from being one who started to big, we get frustrated and do not learn the process and enjoy the ride. Have fun.
