Welcome TAmmie for SE MIchigan! You will fit right in with the rest of us with more chores and work than time to actually stitch! You are already a member of the cutting club. I did 11 stitches in my right trigger finger years ago and even after measuring twice I still manage to cut wrong! One of the things I do find my self doing is posting for a while then stopping and making that time for quilting. None of this, at least for me, would be of value if I weren't stopping to quilt. Right this moment there is nothing on my studio floor that I am working on only because I picked things up because of company coming over the other day. Today is the plan to lay out a top and sandwich it and get it ready for quilting!! This is the exciting part.
Welcome to the QB and jump right in. There is usually someone that can answer questions or guide you in the right direction. There are also loads of fun projects to join into.
