If you do a "google" search with something like....how to quilt... you can get a lot of information about the basics of quilting. Also, if you google something like...quilting terminology...you can learn a lot about the terms used in quilting. Hope this helps you some.

Welcome! I’m also new to quilting, new to this board and am in Chicago. I started out sewing garments years ago and began quilting this year. All my other crafting hobbies have taken a backseat to this quilting thing, LOL!

This board is the best resource I’ve seen for quilting. I’m not that active on here but I read as much as I can. I appreciate all of the views and experiences shared by the members. They are gold!

Best to you on your new quilting adventure!
