Hello :-)
 

Hi there! I'm a very new quilter who found this board while searching for information on an old Singer that I rescued from the "bins" at Goodwill. My mother introduced me to quilting about a year ago, and I have to admit that I'm much better at buying fabric than I am at actually sewing lol.

My husband and I married almost 16 years ago, and we have 3 sons (two adult and one teen.) We are a law enforcement family, so things are a bit trying these days. I was a single mom for several years and became a sahm when our youngest was born. We started homeschooling when our oldest was in third grade and have homeschooled since.

I'm looking forward to hopefully making a few friends who love fabric shopping and sewing <3

Thank you :-)

Well, I'm not so much on new shopping, but I'm a big believer and shopper of Goodwill and other thrift stores, including most of my fabric.

Sometimes it is the motivation of a big pile of fabric that starts us sewing... sometimes it is just the start of a mountain of fabric instead of just a pile.

We get/accept all kinds here -- glad you found us.

Welcome from Southern Indiana....you sound like my daughter...she loves to buy fabric and has a really good eye for color, but when it comes to sewing???? that's another story......however, the main thing is to enjoy it, and I'm sure you will.....

Welcome from Texas. It sounds like you are jumping right in to the quilting world. It's nice to have new members here. Hope your journey is as fun & exciting to you as it is to me. We love pictures & want to see what you are making.

Welcome from Minnesota.

I, too, am/was more of a fabric buyer than sewer -

a warm welcome from Ky. I have a modest stash and try to keep it down to what I can store in my little cubby box's , only buy new as I need it for a project. I must admit to a huge weakness when ever I walk into Handcocks of Paducah, there is just so much there I can hardly push my cart by the time I am ready to check out LOL Have a hard time even when I go to the web sight, so much eye candy and you know it is great quilting fabric. So many ideas here and so many lovely people I am sure you will find lots to have fun with, happy quilting!

Welcome to the forum from Central Texas! Lots of creativity and helpful people!

Welcome from Michigan!:)

Welcome to the QB form SE Michigan! You will find a lot of people, including myself, that love to buy fabrics and sew day in and day out. Right now I am doing my best not to buy any more fabrics since I have enough to outlive me. Jump right in and join the fun! Again welcome to the QB!

Hello from Delaware! More fabric just means more creativity in my humble opinion. LOL Have fun and enjoy your new hobby.

Hello from south Texas!

Waving to you from NE Ohio, welcome to the board. 🙋‍♀️

Welcome from Maine. I too have rescued an oldy but goody Singer. There is a thread dedicated to vintage sewing machines with lots of great info in it. Fabric sure is fun to buy and create beautiful quilts with them for others to enjoy. We like pictures, hope we get to see some of your work.😎
