Hi all, I'm a newbie too (I guess...see the rest of the story)...Quilted my first quilt for a gift for my Mom (machine pieced & hand quilted...probably queen size) about 30 yrs ago, if you can call that newbie. Made my 2nd quilt (all machine done) 60"x60" for friend's new baby about 2 yrs ago. But I've sewn off & on all my life...well, since grade school. Am now SO EXCITED about quilting & just bought the fabric (hardly any stash) for a king sz quilt for our bed. DH is SO SWEET, just bought me a longarm. Supposed to be shipped tomorrow....don't know WHERE we can put it! But we'll find some place FOR SURE!
Thanks for letting me share. Ramona in Mobile
