Red face Newbie from Bama

Hi all! Just found this site and let me say what an awesome site and forum boards this is. I have spent the morning reading through several sections of this board. I have really enjoyed seeing all the quilt pics. Yall are some amazing quilters. Today is the day that I get started on my first quilt. I have my first lesson this afternoon and cant wait to get started. I have been wanting to learn to quilt for some years now. I have read alot about quilting and watched alot of video how to's, browsed many fabric shops, and drooled over a many quilts that I have seen. Coming from a long line of sewers in my family I guess its only natural that I pick up the need to sew. I can sew some but just have never attempted quilting. My grandmothers both quilted but unfortunately I lost them both at a young age. My mother and sister were more garment sewers and never took to quilting and unfortunately I lost them both as a teenager. Now in my 40's the quilting bug has hit me hard and I look forward to when I can proudly show off a finished quilt. Thank yall all for posting all your helpful tips and I hope it wont be long before I can post a pic to share with yall!
