New from SC
 

Hi! I'm fairly new to quilting and have been looking for an online community to learn and draw inspiration from and I stumbled across this board. I work full-time (an accountant by trade) and last July found that I needed something creative to do in order to balance my work-related stress. I decided to reconnect with my beloved sewing machine and explore quilting after I ran across "The Midnight Quilt Show" on YouTube. I've really enjoyed the process so far - one lap quilt, one table runner and one workshop under my belt - and I hope to expand upon my new skillset with sage advise and guidance from this group :).

Welcome from western NY and happy quilting :)

Welcome from Texas. You will find lots of help & inspiration here. YouTubes & video tutorials are a quilter's best friend. You can learn so much from the web.

Hi and welcome from NE Ohio.

Hi and welcome from North Carolina, piedmont area. And, congrats for getting thru another tax season. I know, I've been there... retired tax preparer and teacher. Now that you it's over for another year, you can relax more with your quilting! :)

Hi and Welcome from Upstate SC. There is a very active Quilters of South Carolina guild (statewide) that you may be interested in. There are a lot of local guilds here in SC and you can find a listing of them on the webpage.
This forum is awesome but add to it a "live" group of like minded individuals and you have a good intro into the quilting world.....shows, retreats, classes, shop hops, etc
Welcome Again!

Welcome aboard Christina. Left Coast, Seattle area extending greetings!

I did high level office work for many years and one of the things I really liked about my quilting was it was something I could point to and see what I had done. In my job papers and problems passed over my desk and while I was busy all day long there was rarely something I could point to. Plus, playing with fabric is soothing :) And while many find it intimidating, I rather enjoy quilt math. I'm lucky I found quilting relatively early in life, started as a high school senior and so I've had this great hobby for some 40 years.

If you do have the time, I would seek out RL quilters as previously mentioned. If not, here we are and a great place to ask questions. I'm self-taught and am happy to save someone else 20 years of trial and mostly error if I can!

Waving hello from Maryland! You'll learn and find inspiration here.

Welcome from Michigan!:)
