I've been quilting for two days and I'm hooked
#12
Welcome to the board! Quilting does become addicting. I started 4 yrs ago with a sewing machine on a card table. Now I have turned a bedroom into my sewing/quilting room, have 4 sewing machines (one of them is a Juki on a frame), quilting tools & more fabric that I can use, but I'm addicted...lol. And I dream of having a longarm!

Welcome from SC Texas. We have a lot of the same interest. I have studied interior design and have studied flower arranging in Japan. This really comes in handy in quilting when you start choosing fabric colors for quilts and with your background you will very likely want to design your own patterns. So happy you joined us, I think you will enjoy it here.

The floor matching is funny. I took the photo in my parent's kitchen after finishing the quilt at grandma's. The tile matching was completely coincidental, but the whole thing was started by "what goes with this pretty beige batique" so the color was important.
