beginner & wanting to learn
Hello I am Speedy48 and thats because I don't have enough patience to sew.
I want to learn now that I've retired. Always admire beautiful quilts that are home made.
I am hoping the first one I make would be just as pretty.

HI "Speedy" I am from Co. I took up quilting because I thought (thought) that I had a chance of getting the seams straight because most of them are short,. I took it up about 12 years ago,(Iam 70) and just love it. Have fun, we are just getting good, Have a glorious day. JO

Hello Speedy. Welcome from Dallas Tx. area. Get a little patience and get started. Don't be afraid to ask questions. This board has a lot of really good people on here, and they will help you over and over.

A big SHO-ME welcome from Missouri! My advice would be to start with something easy - my first quilt, started about 45 years ago is still unfinished in my closet because I thought that I could do a very hard pattern as I had sewn lots of clothing - but I was wrong.

Hey Speedy sounds like the Jelley Roll Race is your quilt!! Quilting will teach you patience. After you rip out the same seam 4 times because it keeps coming out wrong. You will find your "Zone" where nothing else around you matters but getting that row straights and all the seams match up!
