Hello, all! I'm brand new to both sewing and quilting, but I love color, design, fabric and puzzles, and I like making useful things, so it seems like the perfect hobby for me. (Tried knitting, but there is no way I can handle yarn in July when it's 105º out!)
I'm looking forward to finding answers all of my very newbish questions here (like, do you end up with bits of string everywhere from snipping after you sew each seam, or am I doing something wrong?)
Anyway, making my first quilt for my new baby niece and am having so much fun. I decided on a disappearing 9-square and when I tried to describe the geometry behind it to my husband, he accused me of being a quilting nerd. This from a guy who spends his spare time pushing bits of cardboard around to play WWII board games. Ha!
