Hi! New here and new to quilting too. I did my first project in a class last fall, and I'm working on a lap quilt now. Seeing some modern looking quilts online inspired me to learn, and so far it's much easier than sewing clothes. :D

Hi and welcome from Mass.

Welcome from The east side of Michigan, This is a great addicting place to be!

Welcome cooking!! I think you will find this to be an incredible place of inspiration. I've been sewing for 15 years--and learned more from my year here than all those 15 years together.

Sewing clothes is like Greek to me--I can't do it. :roll:

Welcome from Jackson, MI. I'm new also and really enjoying this board. Kathy

Welcome from New Hampshire, but I lived in the K'zoo/GR area for 15 years. West Michigan is a great place to live if you can't live in New England. :wink: This board is great, no matter where you live!

Greeting from Arizona! We're glad you're here!

Vandeaner- there isn't a quilt shop in Holland that I know of. Just Fields (which is a pretty good fabric store) and JoAnn's. THere used to be one in Zeeland, but I think it closed down.

There is a good quilt shop with more modern fabrics in Fennville on (I think) 62nd ave. Custom Quilts Unlimited. Allegan has a nice quilt shop too right down town. I don't remember the name of the shop.

Thanks everyone for such a warm welcome!

ty for your kind info--nice one in Montague and also Coopersville if you are so inclined--Vandeaner

I like your class project! Thanks for the pic.
