Welcome from Texas. Your bags are really great looking & glad you were able to sell them. I made one hand pieced/hand quilted quilt when I was just out of High School & did not quilt again until 2001 (at the age of 58). I had never heard of a rotary cutter, self healing mat, walking foot, etc. All these terms were new to me also. You will catch on fast. Hopefully you will find a friend who wants to learn along with you. This is a great board and it's full of very helpful quilters who have a lot of knowledge & are willing to help.
