my name is trish im 24 and decided to get into quilting when i won a mystery box on ebay i had it delivered to my dads house a when i opened it and saw all the fabric my aunt linda looked at the box and said you can make yourself a nice something with all this uncle pat was rolling on the floor laughing cause it was all fabric from the 70s he said it was taking him back to the old days so out of the blue came the idea of a quilt for the past 3 weeks i have been collecting and hoarding all sorts of fabric beads pins sequences silk flowers and for some odd reason bought a bottle of gorllia glue and a sleeping bag for my quilt why i dont know maybe it was the excitment of knowing i was about to make something big and new or the magic of walmart but thats what i came home with so i have no idea how to quilt or what i am doing but i know i am about to embark a journey and have new friends for it along the way to help and guide me thru this i hope to be able to help other quilters by sharing ideas and quilting items
