Hello and welcome from SW Iowa. Glad to have you here.

Hello and Welcome to the board :D:D:D
So glad that you joined us!!

Welcome from Illinois. Since you're a newbie I'd like to recommend books by Eleanor Burns. She can teach you to make beautiful quilts and she's simplified them so that anyone can make them. She's a "step by step" person so that helps. Judy Martin is another one that's good. She will show many different layouts of the blocks in her books. She also does very scrappy quilts that you don't need a huge stash for.

Hi Sundar! I'm new to quilting, too! Though I'm working on the first one, my mind is two or three ahead--I'm always seeing a quilt I want to add to my list! Have you decided what you'll do first?

I'm also a neophyte sewer. I learned to use my machine better by taking it with me to classes at a local shop that sells sewing machines and offers classes (I didn't take a quilting class at the time, but I may soon! I made a pillowcase dress for a toddler and a pair of pj pants!). It was great for getting more familiar with my machine.

Welcome from Georgia. You will enjoy this board. thumbup: You will not find a better group of people than here. I spend way to much time here myself. I tell hubby I learn something new here everyday. :wink: Glad you are coming aboard :thumbup:
