Welcome from Maine! If you're ever bored take a trip up to Maine and visit Marden's for fabric. Most of it is $2.99 although the prices have been going up lately. The closest one to you is in Sanford. I love Marden's and never leave without buying at least one piece of fabric. You're going to love this board.

hi welcome from fl.self taught here

I would start small, something easy like I did. A basic block pattern like I do. I did make a quillo quilt as my first, but, I did it all by hand and it was quite a project.
Also remember to sew seams 1/4 inch, some prefer scant 1/4 but, it's difficult for some and most importantly is to enjoy yourself and what your doing |
Welcome fromt CT and keep reading the board. I am a newbee at quilting and have picked up some great tips. A lot of wonderful people here who are very generous in sharing!

You can find it on Amazon for $9.04! Bargain! Have fun quilting!

I highly recommend you go to JoAnn Fabrics (if you have one near you) and buy the book "Quilt with Confidence" by Nancy Zieman. I paid $24.99 for mine. (well worth the price!) Or you can get it from her web site - www.sewingwithnancy.com |
