welcome from central Illinois formerly from Indiana :)
|
Welcome to the board from Mass.
|
Welcome from Shipshewana Indiana and Laconia New Hampshire! This board is great with assistance and inspiration.....as well as the internet. Just google any quilting question and you will receive lots of step by step instruction by text and/or video. Welcome and good luck!
|
Welcome. You'll love it here on the board.
|
Welcome from Tennessee!
|
Welcome from California! You can find help here - and there are many tutorials on Youtube. There are many people on this board that are self taught. I learned to do the binding from a book. You could also ask at your local fabric store. I've gone into Joann's and just asked customers questions before. (It was easy to spot the quilters, they are buying lots of cotton. LOL!!!) I want to encourage you to go for it and get it done!

Hello from Central Indiana.
Get a good book to help you - Fons and Porter, Alex Anderson then start on something small and before you know it, you will move on to bigger projects. You-tube is also a good source and you can always ask for help here on the Board |
Hi Jamie and welcome. I understand how you feel. I live in Mitchell Indiana. Are you located near me? Would be glad to help you if you are.

Hi and welcome from New York. Check out the tutes here.

Welcome from the now soggy Indianapolis
|
Welcome from Atlanta! The love of my life is from Indianapolis by way of Nashville. The board is great, just ask any question and the only problem will be that you get a lot of different answers and you have to figure out what's right for you! (I wish I'd had that problem when I started learning to quilt from books almost 30 years ago!)

welcome from Minnesota!

I would recommend Quilting for "Dummies" book. It is really great and was a lot of help for me when I started Welcome to the world of quilters. By the way I lived in Southern Indiana until I married.

Right after Christmas I went and bought more fabric and started on a quilt for my daughter. The top has been done for 2 years and we still have not found time to get together. I hope it will happen soon. I love material and want to make quilts, table runners, wall hangings etc., but I am scared to death to try without someone guiding me through it. As far as I know there are no quilting classes near me, or quilters that are just dying to take on a newbie like me. I love looking enviously at all of your photos and hope to someday be able to post my own.

Welcome from S. Indiana.

Try and watch all the quilting and sewing shows you can
find. Good ones are Sewing with Nancy, Fons and Porter Alex Anderson. My first quilt I used a Eloner Burns pattern for an Irish Chain. I did pretty well. Start out simple with squares. Just dive in practice makes perfect. |
