hi, I'm Julie. I am new to quilting, although I've been collecting fabric for a few years. I made a sampler wallhanging in a quilt class I took through our local library. Now, I'm hooked. My MIL was an excellent quilter and I developed an interest from her. Sadly, I didn't start til after she died, but I feel like she is watching me and helping. I just wish I could stay home, and quilt all the time, but then I couldn't afford the fabric! Darn! I don't know often I will be able to come online, but it's nice to know you are all out there willing to listen and help.
