Your welcome. I pm'ed PatriceJ to let her know.

I would be glad to help someone who is just starting to make quilts.
I have been quilting for many years. Have done several different patterns but tend to stick with simple block designs, strip piece when I can.
I sew one an old New Home machine, and just learning to do a little quilting with it.

If anyone thinks I may be able to help you get started, let me know.

I'll try and match up the interests of everyone in a little while. I didn't write that down the first time through.

If you haven't added your areas of interest please do. It helps.

If I missed you please let me know. It got kind of confusing as I was going through.

You will get more interest if you would post some pics of projects along the way. Things that you are discussing between Mommy and adoptee. It doesn't have to be a finished project. A lot of young(new) quilters would benefit from seeing an idea from begining to finish or to see your attempts to master a technique. Please share whatever you can. Too many only want to post the end product but the process of learning is beneficial to all too.

I am a newbie who would love to have a quilting mentor!!! Have done some hand quilting in the past but just started machine quilting. Not afraid to try new things. Please someone pick me! :)

ADOPT ME! I need all the help I can get. Am LOVING my new hobby! I started it to use up all the pink fabric my girls had to have that I Never made anything out of. And now they have outgrown it and do not want anything pink. BTW - I have NOT made one single pink quilt yet. LOL

I am open to adopt anyone. I noticed farnsworth lives in Maine, I live in MA.
Scrap quilts and log cabins are my favorites, I don't know anything about art quilts (except that they are beautiful)!
I love redwork and needle turn applique.
I am willing to take on a beginner or advanced beginner, or anyone interested.

Who would like me to be their Mommy?

you all are very quick. So here are more newbies who want to be adopted.

Sunnydays who wants to try new things.

Brwnntwn who is a new quilter and loving her new hobby.

You are doing such a great job, organizing this!!! Thank you for making my idea a reality and I am so glad that we are all on the same team!!! :D :lol: :thumbup:

I have several quilt moms want to adopt me, Makes me feel kinda special! Quilt Mom was the first to offer and we have been in contact. I am glad quazyquilter thought of this idea!!This will be so much fun, Not only to make another special friend but to learn new things along the way.
