Wish Mom Was Here
Hello,
I am not sure how this will be recived but I am going to take a chance. I am a 50 year old man. My mother was a master quilter and influenced by here I have worked hard to become a leather worker. I keep finding myself dreaming of quilting. I end up looking at sewing machines late into the night online and have been colecting my cutting tools and mats. Working with leather I am no rookie to measuring and sewing. My Mother once told me under her breath that she was a fabric snob. As I look over the quilts she made me I can see why. After years of hard use and abuse that only a young man would give to a hand made quilt I have noticed that all my mothers quilts have only become mr soft and show very little damage. Ok so this is my first shot of asking with respect about were do I start when I begin to buy fabric for my first quilt project. If I had known I would get this urge to quilt I would have picked my Moms brains. What kind?, Thred count?, Maker?, any advice would be greatly welcome. I will spen hours reading other post trying to figure this out. thank You Dan dtdthornton
