Hi everyone! My name is Deb. Quilting is one of the things on my retirement bucket list. In the five years that I've been retired, we've moved to Tennessee, built a log cabin and live in the woods. I've worked at a MLB stadium in my home state and learned to can. Two biggies from the bucket list accomplished, so quilting is the next one. I haven't sewn much since I was a teenager. I was pretty good, but really didn't enjoy it much. (I was a teenager.)
I tend to over-plan, and it's not much different with this. I've watched a few of the tutorial videos and have selected a pattern to do for my first quilting project. I've sought the advice of a friend who quilts as to what tools and supplies I'd need. So, I've got my rulers, scissors, threads, etc., even a new sewing machine. I've been collecting fabrics from the MSQC Daily Deals over the last month or so. Once I get the feel of the new machine, I'll probably go ahead and start on that project.
I'll be reading through the different threads to get advice and perhaps even ask a question or two. I'd love to hear what you'd consider to be the best advice you can give a novice. I thank you in advance and look forward to learning from y'all. :-)
