Thank You Lisa,

I should have been more clear about my situation. I work for the RailRoad and have had an injury that has left me kinda homebound for at least another 8 to10 weeks at least. I was hopeing to shop on line. I realize that I will need to build up a "STASH" of fabric so I was planing on starting on a few small projects and over time build up a stock pile. I have a old Nelco sewing machine that runs like a watch. I picked it up for cheap and have been practicing on it. I also found a Consew 230 industrial machine that after buying a new switch found that it also runs great. I have gotten lucky as far as sewing machines go but I just have no idea were to start when buying fabric. 100% cotton? Fat quarters? this is about all I know so far. I just do not want to order a bunch of material and find out later that it is not right for quilting. I hope I am not sounding frantic. I am a crafts person. I have a sewing room I use for leather work. I spend at least three hours a day working in this room. I feel that with a little help I could be on my way. I was thinking of starting wit a quilt made of 6 in squares just to get my feet wet. So, is there a on line shop that anyone might recomend and any info on fabric typs would be greatly appreciated.

Respectfully
Dan
