Y'all's quilts are amazing!!!! After getting on here & seeing the quilts y'all are making, I am about to skiddle back to my hooks & yarn. I just don't get how you can get all the fancy designs with the thread in the middle of the quiltsv. Maw Maw Jessie was the best quilter in the world, there will never be anybody better cause she did it all by hand, each & every little stitch, around designs, flowers, or whatever was on the clothe to add that extra special touch. She didn't use the sewing machine cause she said her hands weren't broke, they worked just fine. I think I am just bout scared LOL I won't run away, I'll hang out for a bit & have a look around. Right now, I am gonna drink more coffee & admire more scrappy quilts, amazingly awesome scrappy quilts.
SEW glad you are going to stick around! It could be easy to feel intimidated by what others are posting but if you stay on here long enough, you will soon realize that
*everyone started out as a beginner at one point
*there is a myriad of techniques, styles, etc. to learn
*everyone is willing to help walk you through getting started
*there are plenty of those on here who not only are beginners but they are in their golden stage of life (It's never too late to begin)

*and you don't have to start out with full size quilts: mug rugs, placemats, doll quilt size, they work too!
