Default hello

Hi, from Lincolnshire UK. I am 34 married with a 4yrold darling girl. I haven't been quilting for long or done any sewing since school, but so far I've made a king size memory quilt out of Jessica's baby clothes, and im in the proceeds of making a double size for my neffew. I am also about to embark on a necktie memory quilt/wall hanging(?) out of my dads ties. I am loving quilting, but sometimes am struggling to understand quilting terms (like for ages i wasn't sure what a fat quarter was - didn't help i first taught it was Fat Corner!?!). So am slowly learning from books and forums.
My husband now wants xmas quilts and another for the conservatory and our bedroom. Sometimes i think he is trying to keep me busy
Anyway so that's me saying HELLO

xx

Welcome from Missouri - the SHO-ME state - so if you can see videos on your computer you should be fine with all that there is out on quilting on the internet.
