I have learned a LOT by teaching myself, reading books, and I finally took a quilting class at JoAnn's. I am ready to connect with some other quilters and learn some of the short-cuts. I also now understand the expression on the lady's face when I showed up at a quilt shop seeking fabric, and explained that even though I had no experience, I was going to make quilts for this holiday season. :lol:
Welcome from Alabama, Heart of Dixie! You are really making progress! Did you find the class at JoAnn's to be worthwhile? I've thought about going there myself, but didn't know if they were worth the $$ or not. Welcome again! :)
