Thank you all! Your encouragement is overwhelming! I am having a great time and am constantly planning new projects in my head. I found a great article for organizing my stash and I do feel like I have been fortunate in finding a great LQS, great instructor, and getting off to a great start. Now if I can just convince my hubby to convert his office to a sewing room. Wish me luck!

Well you could be subtle, start with just adding a bit of fabric in a bottom desk drawer and perhaps some in a basket in the corner... a ruler or two here and a quilting magazine there... then later add a bit of this and that here and there, slowly marking your territory as you go, until he gets the hint! LOL Also, thanks for the info about the wide masking tape. See you can always teach an old quilter new tricks! Keep up the good work.

Your quilts are full of color and charm. Would never of known that you are just starting your quilt adventures. Welcome to the world where hoards and stashes are a good thing. :-) I really like everything that you have done.
