Welcome from Winnipeg, Manitoba-Canada, it is a good site, do check out the chat line any time of day for just anything under the sun.. I also belong to three other sites, Connecting threads, Missouri quilt, and Eleanor burns
Connecting I enjoy their shopping, Missouri the you tubes, and Eleanor for sharing about quilting.. As time moves on
you'll develop a real sense of family on forum pages. Their is plenty nowadays to learn from on a small budget.
It is interesting how much fabric I found for very little last year to work on my scrapquilts and practice till late hours of the night. When I can't sleep at night I happy for head down to the sewing and get go..

Welcome from snowy northwestern NY, near Lake Ontario. I'm sure you will love it here! I hope you will post a picture of your project once it is finished.
