Hey there! I just started quilting in the past few months. My first project was to build a fabric stash and now I'm on probation. My second project was to make a quilt, any quilt because my sister said I have plenty of fabric to do so. So, I started a cathedral quilt. Feels more like origami than...

I joined the club last night and am really excited to learn more about sewing and quilting on my new Singer Futura 4in1 which I have had for about 3 months. I have been sewing for about 30+ years on and off. I am really anxious to quilt my first quilt ever on the machine.

I started quilting this summer and truly have enjoyed every single minute. I started with the 10 minute block quilts and have five finished. I am amazed I did it. I am looking for big block quilts that are easy and pretty at the same time. I am so new that anything less that big blocks seem overwhelming...

Where I live is the middle of a forest on a lake and sparsely populated. Fortunately I met some friends that have been quilting...

Hi! I'm new here, and new to quilting. I am a single mom with 1 teen daughter, 3 cats and a dog. I've been around needlework since I was little, with a mother who did (and made) everything, except quilts. So I learned to knit, sew, embroider, etc., but no quilting. I remember watching my grandmother...

Welcome Regina. I am so glad you are enjoying your quilting. You are really doing good! I hope you enjoy your bus trip. I have gone a couple quilt rallies with my stepmom in Roanoke Va. We had a good time. I miss those trips, it has been several years since I have been able to go down. I worked on a...
