Hi all :) Just like to introduce myself. I live in Brisbane Australia with my hubby and various animals. Have 3 grown boys and I'm waiting impatiently for grandkids lol.
I'm very new to quilting, so new I haven't actually quilted anything yet, only sewn a few tops years ago that are somewhere in the UFO cupboard. I do various other crafts and have made a few clothes, but would really like to make a nice big snuggly quilt! So, i'm here to learn all I can from you lovely people.

Cheers,
Sandy

Welcome from Dallas, Texas, USA. Have you picked a pattern or fabric for your first quilt? You'll receive lots of inspiration here. Post pictures along the way and feel free to ask questions.

Thank you all for the welcome.
I've cut some squares for a disappearing 9 patch to start with and will get them together on the weekend. I bought a new sewing machine last week and I'm very eager to get creating!

:D
