I've been lurking, but now coming out of the closet. I'm happy to have found this forum and all you friendly folks. I'm brand new to quilting and self taught at this point although I will be taking a beginner's class which starts on Monday. I'm pretty excited about that! In the meantime, I couldn't wait to start my first quilt. I'm working on a simple baby quilt and so far it's coming out fine! I'm halfway done with piecing the top. I have one machine-Babylock Elleure and purchased the 1/4" foot, which is a huge help. I'm married, retired, empty nester and ready to quilt!
