I haven't read the whole thread, but I can adopt a newbie ... nothing gives me more joy than to teach someone what I do and then watch them develop their own style.
I can do just about anything EXCEPT art deco design ... I am more of a traditional, scrappy quilter, I guess you would say ... If there is anyone out there still looking for "mommy" ... I would gladly adopt you <wave>

I am a newbie to quilting, (am hooked). I read all I can on this thread. But a problem I have: Is figuring out what all the capital letters or abreviations mean. Like FMQ, SID, EQ5. Sometimes I can figure out by the way the sentence reads but normally not. I know how to use my sewing machine for regular sewing but not the attachments. Most of what I have learned is from a friend (also basically a newbie) or I've picked up a bunch from this forum. By the way, I'm not really computer savvy either. Recently retired so I can do these things.

SID = Stitch in the ditch
EQ5 is a quilt block designing program
sometimes, the best help for learning those things is to ask <g>, and there is almost ALWAYS someone in the Live Chat that will answer your question ... find the Live Chat by going to the top of any forum page and clicking on the Live Chat letters ... <wave>

I am now in Soap Lake, Washington ... but was named Omak when our grandson was born ( he didn't know what a grandma was for a LONG time!) Even though we moved, I had been Omakmama for so long, why change? LOL <wave>
