I have learned a LOT by teaching myself, reading books, and I finally took a quilting class at JoAnn's. I am ready to connect with some other quilters and learn some of the short-cuts. I also now understand the expression on the lady's face when I showed up at a quilt shop seeking fabric, and explained that even though I had no experience, I was going to make quilts for this holiday season. :lol:

Hi and welcome form AZ. This must be fellow AZ day on the board you are the second new member and we all live near one another. We have Surprise, Peoria and I'm from Avondale. Congrats on your tackling a Christmas Quilt for your first quilt you definitely don't scare easily. :lol: Perhaps we can form our own little group. Welcome again and enjoy the board but one warning it can cut into your quilting time since it's very addicting... :D :D :D :D

Andie, desertrose

Hi CCLady,

I had to laugh when I read your comment as I am doing the same. I started making quilts in April of this year. I didn't even know what a
1/4 inch seam was. My first project was a 35 star quilt for my husband. Now I am making all the grandchildren quilts for Christmas. It is sew much fun. Karen
