Finally getting back to quilting

Warm Wishes is an easy, free pattern that I have used quite a few times for kid-size quilts.

Most of the panels I have used have been big enough for a small quilt, so all I did was sandwich and quilt. It's pretty easy to add a border or two, pieced or plain, if you need to make it bigger, and it's a quick way to do a quilt.

Guilds vary a lot, but at least a guild may be a place to meet other quilters and maybe find someone to help you.

Julia, I like this pattern. I'm going to give it a try as soon as I get through with our taxes. Still not sure about joining a guild. Have to think on it some more. But, again, thanks for this pattern.

Deanna: Some guilds run the 'club year' so it ends in June. Further, if a new member joins towards the end of that period, the dues will be reduced. So, March/April are often good time to join and meet a few people at lower fee. Besides, nothing ventured, nothing gained. PAT in VA/USA

Our guild year joins January - December, but if you join after, I think March, the dues are pro rated. If nothing else, you could go to a meeting or two to decide if it is for you.

Our guild memberships expire at various times during the year; it depends on when you join. But for $3 ($5 if we're having a nationally known speaker) you can attend a meeting for a small fee without joining.
