Hello,
I've always LOVED the idea of quilting, and actually made one as a teen when I lived at home from scraps and old material my mom had hanging around. Basically I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it! made a lot of mistakes, but I finished the darned thing and still have it, though it's falling apart
I know I can do better, much better, so I've started a smaller quilt for my son, so that I can once again prove to myself that I can, and more then that, that I enjoy this art. After this one, the hope is that I'm comfortable and confident enough to do a much bigger one for our master bedroom!
I'll take all the help I can get, so far I'm completely self taught. My mother sews, but clothes, she never been interested in quilting. Thank goodness for the internet!
