I joined QB about 9 yrs. ago, and didn't have a clue what I was doing on the board. The best thing for me are all of the people I have met, and that everyone is so willing to help in any way they can. I have made some wonderful friends. I saw an ad for Konstain's book about basics of quilting, with detailed pictures. I bought it--my first E-Book, and it is wonderful. I know I can go to that and get help on most anything related to basic quilting. It is wonderful for binding, scalloped edges, most anything.Mariah.
