    My name is Cindy and I'm from upstate NY. I have always admired quilts and the people who make them, I'd love to to learn how to quilt, starting out with a simple table runner. I'd appreciate any advice/tips anyone cares to give. I'm totally lost here and not sure just how to get started. I have been sewing since I was in Jr. high school. Oh, I should also mention that I am terrible at and hate math!! Do I have a prayer of learning how to quilt? :lol:

    hello from West Virginia, always remember you can do anything you want with determination and the proper teaching check at a local fabric shop about classes or search the web for classes near you.

    Hi Cindy in Upstate New York (do put location on your profile)
    I'm from Downstate NY, now living in NH
    Welcome

    Math is far less important than following instructions, if using a pattern, and cutting accurately.

    Hello Cindy, welcome from northern Minnesota! I agree with BusyDebbie, the best thing you could do to start out is to take a class at your LQS.
