I got bitten by the quilting but about nine years ago when a LQS opened in my little town. I took a couple of classes and was hooked! I made a table runner, a table topper, bought lots of pretty fabric, and then life got in the way. I joined this board back then, and everyone here is so amazing and helpful!!! I just converted a spare bedroom into a quilting studio and am cutting out my first quilt, so I'm still a Newbie!
