Good morning everyone! So happy to be here amongst you clever and experienced sewers. I've done a little sewing in the past and managed to gather material and all sorts of sewing aids. Having spent lockdown viewing youtube videos about all types of sewing, my mind is a muddle of what to do and where to start, and at the moment I feel like an artist afraid of a blank canvas. I'm interested in having a go at applique and quilting, and I know I should start with something small (though that's never stopped me from biting off more than I could chew in the past :)) Please bear with me as I have sooooo many questions.

Hello and welcome! We love questions. :)

Hello from an ex (South) Derbyshire girl (near Swadlincote) 0_0
I know nothing about quilting, I make garments, but there's lots of very knowledgeable peeps on here.
It is mandatory to show us pics of your makes 0_0

Oh yes, I forgot to add that I grew up very close to Derbyshire - across the water from @Bodgeitandscarper, in the neighbouring county. I'm not aware that we knew one another, but who knows? We may have met at some point!

Welcome, (a little late), from yet another Spireite.
Like you, I was a total beginner when I joined this forum.
But thanks to the advice and encouragement I got from the members here, I'm still a beginner, but know an awful lot about hoarding fabric... :loveit:

Yep, that is our specialist area. :thumbsup: :P
