I have been sewing (clothes, etc.) for years but was leary about quilting. I think I was afraid to start a quilt project and not finish it. A year and half ago money was tight so I decided to make table runners for Christmas gifts. Boy did I get hooked. Since then I have made six large quilts and have enjoyed every minute. I finish a project and am already planning on the next project. I started reading this message board and decided to join. All of you seem to have such wonderful ideas and all seem to addicted to quilting like I am. Have a great day!!!
