Considering Quilting
H ello everyone! I am retired and looking for a new winter activity. I have never quilted anything but I am fascinated by sewing geometric shapes together to make something beautiful. I'm reading and watching instructional videos on the web trying to figure out the basics. It's a little overwhelming at this point. I guess I'll have to take the plunge and actually pull out the sewing machine and some scrap material to practice. If all else fails I can take a 2 hour class at Joann Fabrics. Eventually, I need to figure out what I want to make. While bed quilts are beautiful I'm not sure I want to make something so big at this stage. What are some smaller projects for a beginner? Also, I want to purchase the bare minimum of equipment at this time. What should I purchase besides a rotary cutter? (I have a sewing machine.)
