    Hi,

    Welcome aboard, I am also a beginner and have learned lots of things on this board. I love surfing online to find cool videos to watch etc.

    Also I created a blog to store the links that I find online to go back and reread them later on. I have attached the link, enjoy

    Also if you enjoy other crafts I have a blog for that tons of cool ideas there.

    Also was curious is you guys had some sort of Fabric trade type thing? I have all sorts of fabrics that I would love to trade for something else!

    I have about 4 yards of Pink Dora the Explorer fabric, another 4 1/2 Yards of a red fabric that has dolls all on it. Aswell as a bunch Christmas ( sparkly ) Squares and other various squares. Is anyone interested in something like that ?
