Hi Whispers....welcome to the board.
I'm also in Maine, in Raymond 25 miles west of Portland. Where do you live?
I started quilting in 1994 after watching a Fons & Porter video I came across in the library. I was hooked. I learned from books and then started watching quilting shows on PBS. Learned a lot thru the years.
Quilters are very helpful. If you have ?s just ask. I'm sure you'll find the help you need.
