I can be considered a newbie, well, sort of. I have only been quilting for two years. I took my first quilting class in August of 2008. I was suffering from a severe depression because I lost my mom the beginning of that year. A friend took me into the quilt shop (I live in a small town and only have one). Since then, I have grown with my quilting as well as my depression has gotten better. Now I love almost every type of quilts. I love stained glass, applique, foundation paper piecing, mosaics, from wall hangings to king quilts. Here are some of the projects I have completed. I will be happy to help anyone with anything and I am also willing to try new things. The Mosaic Blue Star Banner is my own pattern that I made using the original Blue Star as a template.

I have been quilting, or trying, for the last 5 yrs or so. I have yet to finish a large quilt. and have been in such a hurry I feel that my lap quilts are lacking :-( . I am new to the sewing machine as of September of '09. I have tons of stash but not as much time as I would like. So I guess the biggest help I need is on encouragement, finishing a quilt, and using my machine. I have a babylock quilters choice. I still need to learn SO many things. So if you think you can help me I would be grateful! :mrgreen:

I have only been quilting for 2 years but I have learned FMQ, Foundation Paper Piecing, stained glass, mosaics, and have even made my first Native American Wedding Ceremonial Breech clout out of wool and wedding dress out of deer hide. I don't everything but I might be able to answer any questions and I definitely can give you encouragement.

I'm a new born "newbie" which means I haven't started yet except to read a couple of quilting bookS!! And read this BOARD and converse with a lot of really nice people. I need simple straight forward directions and I tend to do a lot of research before I actually start something. LOL I'm a night person and am very crabby in the mornings; that is unless I've stayed up all night. I work part time at home doing books for a business but other than keeping grandbabies occasionally, I have free time.

What beautiful work...love the stain glass!

Well, where are you?

I would love to have someone show me from step one what to do, I seem to jump around steps and then have to go back. Or I just do things the hard way, when there is a simple solution to being accurate and quicker. Dee
