Welcome to the Quilting Board from Nevada! We're thrilled to have you! Don't worry about how many quilts you've made. It's not as if you have a quota to fill. You're doing this because you love it, and that's all that matters. You're no less a quilter if you make 4 a year than if you make 14 a year. It's the love of the art form.
I do not find it surprising that a writer would choose quilting as a hobby. Both are so creative. They complement each other. One is more manual and visual than the other, although depending on your writing muse, there could be synergy there as well. I know because I also write, and have taught creative writing, and I "see" my characters in action. The quilting is a complete break from the writing, yet it still keeps my creative juices flowing. It's awesome!
You will love the combined knowledge and experience on this Quilting Board, as well as the member's willingness to share and be helpful. We are also a lot of fun!
