Hi, my name is Sundar, and i live in the Bay Area, California.
I am so new to sewing/quilting, that i just recently bought a Brother 6000i, and only just learned how to thread it (never had a mother or relative to teach me, and even if i had, i probably would have been too busy climbing trees when i was little). lol!
I have been out buying supplies and what-nots and going through books to figure out a pattern that is easy to make.
I found some books that are for beginners... the kind that when you take a class they make you buy. It has been very helpful, along with reading posts from this website and a few other websites that actually have videos.
I have already seen so many beautiful quilts that all you wonderful ladies have made and i am just so excited to get started. I am so extremely amazed at how even some of the new people to quilting have made such incredible quilts. If i ever get one done (lol), i will surely post the pictures.
Thank you all for sharing and making me feel comfy enough to introduce myself.

@Sharon - Thanks Sharon, since i am sooo very green, i am sure i will have tons of questions. Thank you for your support! YouTube is my next stop. lol
@Sue - Oh My Gosh! Aren't the videos so good? Same here, especially when someone is so new it is hard to understand all the written instructions until you can actually "see" someone doing it.
@Sweet - Thanks for the heads-up, I did not know that there were shows on t.v. that actually demonstrated and taught. I will try to find that channel and record some of them. Gosh, how exciting. Thanks so much.
