Newbies challenge
#182
For what it's worth- i think that this is a great idea. i have been quilting for about 10 years. i machine quilt my baby quilts and send the bigger ones to a LAQ. i like the piecing part- hate antthing by hand. if i can do it on the machine- i will. have done some PP and applique-applique not my favorite. i'm not a "perfect" piecer-points are cut off and sometimes the block is not so square, but i don't worry about that too much. would be willing to help someone learn what i know-give me 10 minutes.LOL

What a great idea! I haven't read the whole thread, but I am a newbie and would love a mummy or daddy!
I took sewing classes in Highschool and a quilting class in university, but didn't finish my first quilt until 8 years after I started.
I got a new Janome QC for Christmas and haven't tried it yet because I am a bit intimidated and don't know what all the parts are, despite reading the manual... :oops:
I also love handquilting, which is what I did with my first quilt.
I am not that interested in applique yet or even wallhangings, I like big quilts, scrap quilts, bargellos, jello roll quilts, and so on.
I'd like to learn how to attach borders, match up points perfectly and miter, especially.

Hi, I am new to computers,just getting back to quilting after a lengthy break. I bought a Bernina 630 in 9-09,a Bernina 830 in 10-09 & a Bernina 1300DC serger in 12-09. I am feeling way over my head & could use all the help I can get. I am slowly taking classes @ the shop where I bought them,but feel I need more. I would love to have a mentor who could help me through the frustrations of learning to quilt well and enjoy it!
Please adopt me & I will be the best student you ever had!Oh,I
also have a longarm table sitting in boxes that either of my sewing machines will fit on & would love to use it someday,but feel there are other steps (baby) I should take first.Can you help me?

Would welcome anyone who would like to mentor a mediocre self-taught quilter with much to learn.

Ok LOL I have been talked into being Rere's adoptive Mommy! LOL I kept wanting to do this yesterday but felt I was too tied up right now to join. But she assures me that won't be a problem! I also didn't know if I should do this as I don't make full size quilts. But we are in agreement so I will help all I can!

I need to be adopted also as there are many things I havn't learned. I still am looking to learn FMQ, needle turn applique and all the advanced stuff. I am scrappy challenged as I like things to have a pattern/symetry (spelling?).
I would be happy to be a Mama for someone just starting.
