Hi Everyone. Thanks for the words of encouragement. I think it's necessary. Decided to meet this challenge head on and simply go for it. Been watching youtube as suggested by several of you, and there are some pretty great videos out there. Certain there'll be mistakes but if I'm learning it'll be worth it. My mother always told me that if I learned something then it couldn't be considered a waste of time. I'll have to research the area to find a good quilting club here in the South Carolina Midlands area. Seriously, your comments and suggestions mean a lot. Thanks.
