Hello everyone!

Welcome from Delaware. I understand how you feel being new. I had sewn since I can remember probably about 7-8 years old, but never quilted. It took me reading for over a year --- reading, reading, reading, to get brave enough to start one. That was way too long ---- sometimes reading too much just confuses your thoughts. This site is great, a book is helpful and if possible a beginners class, but don't wait, there are lots of beginner patterns depending on your likes. Start simple.
Let us see your first item.
Happy quilting.

Welcome to this wonderful board of kind people. I took my non quilting neighbor to a little quilt fair and by the end of the hour, she had picked up every future fair announcement. She is so hooked and you will be too. So many great tutorials on this site.

And last but not least my wonderful neighbor across the street. Sorry I don't loan her out. The most important part is have fun and never quilt when your tired. That's when I make most of my mistakes. Good Luck

Welcome from Sioux Falls, SD!
Definately take a class! My DH bought me a Brother SE-44 for Christmas, it is a great machine to learn on and I can quilt, sew and embroider. I began classes and have learned so much, made a beautiful beginners quilt and I am in the process of making a queen size denim rag quilt...oh and I made the patchwork jacket from the tute on this site. Having a great time, folks on here are great and have tons of wisdom!
Happy I found this site!

welcome from Alabama-you have come to the right place for all the help and encouragement you can take! I have learned more from this site than any class could teach me-hands on is good, but these people are tried and true!
