Newbies challenge
#1052
I am a true newbie, never made a quilt, big ideas, lots of tools and notions, books but no mentor, or close friend in town that quilts with the preciseness I hope to have. I jump in with both feet, I've been collecting fabric for the Quilts for Kids project, so that once I get going, I'll be able to whip out several quickly! I am a fast learner, can use chat, texting or just email to make contact. I have a new, Brother SE270D Disney Embroidery sewing machine, and I've only hemmed my hubby's jeans on it so far.
I have one girlfriend who has been quilting for awhile, but from what I've seen, she throws them together in my opinion, rather sloppily, and I don't want mine to look that way. I'm a perfectionist, and want my first and all following quilts to be works of art. I do not have any interest in paper piecing. I have plenty of thread, patterns and rules, just need someone to call on when I need a hand with things, I'd really love to find someone in San Diego, that I can actually get to know on a personal level if there is anyone in the central Serra Mesa, Kearny Mesa, Clairemont or Tierrasanta area.
Yes, I need a Mommy, as mine died a long long time ago...
Please help!

I am looking for another to encourage and share my information with. I am not a professional, but plod along..........I do PP, ME, garments, quilts, wall hanging, table toppers. I was in a major Asian chapter, but that has wained somewhat. I also make iris folded cards, some jewerly, and dabble a little with clay. One of my biggest downfalls is............I don't finish everything.......many UFO"s............PM me if you want to get on my boat................I'm a summer girl............calla/Sue

I'm still looking for a Mommy. I haven't made anything yet, but bought a jelly roll and have sewn together some triple strips ready to cut into squares , or not as the case may be. I'm just a big scardy cat. I have a Janome 2032.

Me too! I am available to help someone. I have a Janome 6660P which I absolutely adore. I do very little handwork or paper piecing. So a twist...if you would like to be adopted, please PM me. I promise to be patient, respond quickly and creative! I believe we can learn from each other. Waiting patiently by the computer! PATT
