Welcome - I too was a dressmaker for over 55 years. I don't know shy I never started quilting. I was 70 when I caught the bug, I'm having so much fun. I don't hand quilt as my hands won't let me, but I machine quilt on my trusty old Singer.She is still purring right along.

Hello and welcome from SC. I didn't know anything about quilting but just started with a pattern. I couldn't cut very accurately which made things not line up; but after trial and error, I kept trying and have almost completed my first quilt. It's king size and has taken me about a year so far and I have 2 more blocks to finish. One of the blocks had 41 squares and triangles in a 9 1/2 block as the base for the 20" finished block! Sounds complicated but I read books, looked at magazines, quite and started many times. But I found the Quilting Board which has tons of info and wonderful people to help with any questions one has. With your sewing knowledge you can do it!!
