Hi all,
I've been lurking about on this message board for a week or two now, and thought it was about time I de-lurked!
My name's Michelle, although most people I know call me Mishi, and I'm 24. I'm brand new to quilting (although not new to sewing - I've made the odd piece of clothing before and currently do some cross-stitching). I got interested in patchwork and quilting a little while ago after seeing some lovely pieces posted on some blogs I follow, and decided I'd like to give it a try.
I'm currently working on my first top - a very basic lap quilt made from hand-pieced 5" squares. I thought I should start simple! I don't currently own a sewing machine, but I'm hoping to be able to buy one in the next month or so and then try some machine piecing.
I look forward to getting to know people on here - it seems like a lovely, friendly place! :)
Mishi
