Welcome from central Alabama. This is a great place to be, no need to be nervous. Fine a simple pattern to start with, like a 9 patch. It will help boost your confidence and hone your skills.
Hi Shawn, I am from Lovingston and know that there are several members here on the board from our area. You will find a lot of help and advise here. Have you tried any classes at the LQS in Lynchburg?
