Complete beginner here
Ready to learn all the ways of quilting!
My mom quilts some (she's a big crafter, sews, crochets, knits...) and it's one thing I've always wanted to learn, but hadn't yet. I'm lucky to get to use her as one of my sources of information (she also works at the fabric store, so she's my source of sale information as well).
I went to facebook in search of a local quilting group, and that led me to an awesome group of women who get together once (or more) a week, and have been very welcoming. One of them is a member here, and if I knew if I could tag her, I would (Hi Francie, it's Teresa!) She's been teaching me a lot, how to piece, quilt, bast, what type of needle to use, etc. She also told me about this place.
I'm in the middle of my first project, hand stitching and quilting a baby blanket with a piece of printed fabric I found at Salvation Army, with remnants from the fabric store. It's taking me a lot of hours, but I thoroughly enjoy the process. Once I feel confident, I have a quilt top my great-grampa put together (1 3/4" squares, scrap quilt top) that I want to sandwich and hand quilt.
