Welcome from Texas. Mary, I'm so glad you joined this quilting board. There are so many helpful people here so don't be shy & please ask as many questions as you want. The answers will not only help you but will also help many of us. Learn how to post pictures & let us see what you start making. I would suggest you start on something small. It will also be fun if you save the first thing you make because you can always look back on it in the future & see the progress you make along the way. Most important....have fun!
