Thanks for all the welcome

thanks so much for your warm welcome!...my head is kinda swimming with all the questions..LOL..but let me try to answer..I only started quilting in September...I have done just about any craft you can name..but somehow quilting really motivates me...all that fabric! I have always loved texiles..I still take knitting with me on the train to work..and I love my power tools :-)..woodworking is a close second to quilting..right now I am taking a class in quilting..and am working on a sampler quilt..I now have 7 blocks..and am also learning to hand quilt..don't have much of a stash yet..I went to my first Quilt Show/Convention last month at the San Mateo Convention Center in CA..I live in the SF Bay area..so I did buy some fat quarters..also joined a fabric of the month club online..craftconn.com..nothing to take a pic of yet, unless you want to see my blocks..I don't know how to put pics on here so that is something else to learn. not sure of what kind of quilting yet..just want to learn right now..I will tell you lining up points on a triangle is not easy for me yet...but a regular nine patch is too boring..am finishing the house block this week..the class lets out for 2 months so will try to get some other stuff done during that time..right now am just trying to keep up with the class Chocolate?? not sure what my favorite is... I look forward to talking more with you all..you truly sound like great people..but then I guess you could say that about all the people I have met in my new hobby.. well if i don't get back to work and focus on my job instead of more quilting..won't have the money for all that wonderful fabric...take care all..and any advice you can give this newbee would be welcom

Yes it would be good to see your blocks, many of the people here let us see theirs before the quilt top is made. You can join Web Shots, Yahoo, or another free picture website and post your pictures online, then let us all know where they are.

Have you tried applique yet? There are a lot of methods of applique so you will probably be able find one you enjoy doing. So far I haven't found a method that I don't like, but I haven't tried them all yet. One of the good things about applique is that I don't have to worry about points all coming out perfect. It's fun too. Debra in VA See my quilts at

Redrose, You live near SF, so shouldn't the answer be Ghiradelli? (At least in your top three!) *I* LOVE that stuff!

Can't argue with that, Anne. However, the G stuff is easy to find, while the SB stuff is not easy to find here in Virginia. Of course anyone who wants to rectify that is welcome. ;) PAT, Official Chocolate Taster of RCTQ
