    Default Jumping in with both feet...

    Hi, I am fairly new to sewing and quilting. I have made two denim tied quilts within the past few years and a Trip Around The World Quilt (also tied) in the VERY distant past. I have recently retired and have once again been bitten by the quilting bug. I am currently working on a few small projects just to reacquaint myself with my machine and I'm using all of your "quilting on a budget" advice to try to establish a fabric stash to pull from. As my retirement is quite a bit earlier than I had ever intended, I really appreciate your suggestions to keep my quilting expenses within my practically non-existant hobby budget. I look forward to learning from all of you. Thanks for having me!
