Hi

My name is Gem and i am hoping to get started in quilting as i would like to make my daughter a throw for her bed in time for christmas this year.

I can use a sewing machine and i can hand sew,but i have never done quilting before so would appreciate any tips or advice on what i will need and how to get started.

Thanks
Gem :)

Welcome to the quilting board from Washington state. You will be amazed at how much you will learn from here. Do you have a preference as to if you want to hand quilt or machine quilt?

Hi Both

No i dont have a preference, but i have 3 young children and i am quite busy so whatever would be the quickest really :)

I have just bought a couple of books about quilting to get me started also.

Thanks

Hi Gem, Glad to have you join the group. Hugs to the children.
You might start with a rag quilt.
