Welcome! You will love this board. So many helpful, kind people. I always jump in the deep end first! I am jack of all trades...master of NONE! I dabble in stained glass, fused glass, crochet, scrapbooking and now, like you, I always wanted to learn how to quilt. Have built quite a little stash so far. Forced to retire 3 years ago and finally adjusted. :roll:

Enjoy, Happy Quilting! :)
