New Beginnings

After coming to the stage of 'empty nest' in my life, I felt I needed something to get me out of my rut. The little town I moved to has a quilting class, and I decided to join for both the educational and social values. I am now working on my first quilt which is made with recycled jeans squares with bandana pattern material sashing and cornerstones. I have learned a lot already, and am enjoying my new venture .

Welcome! I wanted to quilt in the 80's but kids kept my sewing tasks to bibs, Halloween costumes, etc.. Once the last child left for college in the early 2000's I used my machine for pieceing and quilting. I haven't looked back! This is a great, informative, and inspirational forum!!! I'm glad you found it.

That is wonderful you are taking classes. What a nice way to learn something "new" and meet new people.

Welcome from Southern CA. Hope you are able to find inspiration that will keep you quilting for years to come. Just remember, we ARE our worst critics of our work. Enjoy this new hobby.
