Hi, I am also a newbie from Alabama. I started learning about 2 or 3 months ago. So far I have only made one table runner, a small quilt-as-you-go baby quilt and some outfits for my grand daughters. but I am currently working on my first twin size quilt. I have no idea what I am doing really, but certainly enjoying it when I can find time to sew. Welcome, this board is a wealth of information you will love it.
