Hey guys!

I've been sewing for a year now, nothing super special just little house projects! I've been interested in quilting for a bit but haven't had the guts to try it until now! I'm sure I'll be asking a billion questions soon! Does anyone have any good tutorials they want to share?

Hello from Ontario, Canada. As others have said start with something simple and work your way up to more complicated things. A potholder, tablerunner or placemats are a good place to begin. They can have all the elements of a quilt but easier to learn on. Since you've already mastered small sewing projects you should have no trouble going to bigger things. There are a lots of great ideas in the Tutorial section of the board.:)

Hi Carol and here's another welcome from West Virginia. As you surf the internet, believe me, you'll find--and save--lots of tutorials and patterns. Don't know how to give direct links, but try quilterscache and quiltville for many many quilt patterns and hints on how to sew them right. There are lots of quilters on here too that can help if you have a problem.

Welcome to the board. I hope you enjoy it here. Once you start, you won't be able to stop. I started machine quilting in July and have done several projects. So much fun.

Welcome Carol! I started quilting about 10 years ago and didn't really sew much at all. I don't sew anything now....just piece quilts together. My DH asks me to sew for him and I inform him all the time that sewing and quilting are two different things....LOL. I envy people that can SEW!!! Welcome from Northern Idaho!!!!
