Sorry about that. I live in Newcastle, CA. I've meant to change my introduction, including put in a picture... but I haven't figured out how.

I have nothing to contribute... I'm only trying to see if, with help, I've figured out how to add photos. :oops: Sierra

Well, I got the photos on, but my change of location didn't work in my profile others see. Probably put the vague response because we were moving about then and I put what I felt, not where we were going. I may not be smart, but, heck, my hubby thinks I'm cute :roll: Sierra

Please don't be discouraged. There is so much enjoyment, peace and satisfaction that comes from creating.

And... just because you're new, you're not alone... we are all new to something in quilting. There are so many different avenues we can take... and each is a learning process.

I actually enjoy the ironing part of it... followed by squaring and/or trimming. It just brings me closer to where I hope to end up... with a quilted creation.

Here you can get tons of information and input... and if you find someone who quilts... you will find their passion to share with you almost limitless.

Welcome, Babes,
Look at all the help you have here online! Please don't be discouraged- look up art quilting, strip piecing and other kinds of quilting, your blocks do not have to be perfect... you can buy those in a store...

Sierra

pawebdoctor, you are kind. Perhaps a bit wild, also. Your "name" quilt (is that what avatar is?) is wild and free, liberated and colorful!

Do you, or anyone who knows how these things work, think that the electronic quilter DVD(?) would have helped the flat area on that quilt from happening? I have no real knowledge of what it does. Oh, google it, right? Sierra

Do you get TV programs on Sat. like Sewing with Nancy, Eleanor Burns, and Fons and Porter, and America Sews. There are also a lot of books at the fabric stores that show step by step. You will catch on before long.

I kinda know what you mean. I've been at the current quilt I'm working on for a good month and a half and can't seem to get around to finishing it. I either get too tired from work and just want to relax with some cartoons or video games or I say "I'll do it later", get into something, and never get around to doing the quilt "later" because I get off track. Seems like the only time I want to work on it is when I'm at work taking my break and thinking about what I should be doing next on it...but then, like I said, I get home tired and don't want to work on it.

Check out youtube for videos. Missouri Star Quilt Co. has some excellant tutorials on how to make quilts and tips and tricks. If you have questions on how to do something just ask on here---we always love to help out other quilters!
