Welcome from the Northern Neck of Virginia

I say organize the sewing area and pick one reasonably simple pattern and go for it! And be sure to show us pics!

I live in Central Scottsdale. I have been to the Modern Quilting shop and one other shop near Cave Creek, can't remember the name. Still have lots more to visit!

Hi from Maricopa. I grew up in MO as well, but been here for 22 years.
Don't be afraid of cutting your fabric...just dive in!

Amanda - yes you do have a lot to visit! Haven't found a bad one yet. Mad B's in Mesa is a 'fun' one to visit. Quilters Oasis, also Mesa has lots of batiks and is another favorite of mine. I haven't been to Scottsdale Quilts yet but hope to go soon. Also the JoAnns at the 101 and Tatum is especially nice; huge and allows you to use coupons multiple times.

If you like bargain hunting, SAS in Tempe is my go to place...no frills, warehouse feel, but I get designer fabrics and batiks for $4/yard.

Hi Amada, If you are down the Tucson area I might recommend. Quilter's Market in eastern Tucson. My favorite place to shop. Especially on my birthday. See you there.
