thanks Carla for your kind words.It dos help to talk or just let it out sometimes.I also make dolls but quilts are my favorite.Of course there is nothing better then fabric shopping.I like applique, by machine so, not to patient for handstitching .and love to shop for all those lil embellishments.

Thanx Cathie, but maybe I should start with something Very, Very Easy.
I can cut with the acrylic rulers, but have not mastered the art of quilt patterns yet!
Thanx for your kindness. :lol:

:roll: I have heard of BOM, but how do I get started? Do I need to sign up? My skill level is very very basic, but my energy is very high!

Welcome to the quiltingboard I know you'll enjoy it here

All you have to do is go the the Main forum and find the BOM for each month Do the ones you want no rules except to have fun. I am fairly new and it is a great way to learn new skills. Most of us post a pic of finished block on pic page.

[b]I am so sorry for your loss, Sammy. I shall remember you in my Prayers. Also, I am glad that quilting is a help for you. It calms me down, as well. I have only a few projects, but working on them, helps me get through some rough, 'patches'. Be well.

Yours in Christ,
Emerald

Hi everyone. I am really new to quilting, but it is something I have wanted to do for a long time. When I found this site I was really excited. I am really looking forward to begin quilting. My husband and I are going to take off sailing around the world in a few years and I thought that this would be a good way to make some extra cash every now and then when we need it. I look forward to learning tons from this site. :D
Sammy, I am truely sorry for your loss, you are in my prayers. Glad to hear that quilting helps, even a little bit.

Hey All... Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!

The easiest block I have ever made is a rail fence... Cut strips, sew them together side by side, press, & cut blocks from the strip units. Sew blocks together in rows, playing with the placement for the desired effect. Instant quilt top. (basicly) Google search it... You'll see many variations of it and placement ideas, but it is still super easy. (Good practice too)

Hope this helps... Good luck! :-)
