Look for Ruth B. Mcdowell. She is fabulous and you will have to jump right in with no baby steps. You don't need them. Her book titled Piecing, Expanding the Basics is a superb book and will really get the creative mind working overtime! :thumbup: :thumbup:
EDIT: You may look at this book and think it is way to complicated for a beginer. NO NO NO. Jump right in and play with her techniques. Have fun!
