Quilting absolute beginner.....

[Becaroooo]

Hello. Not sure if this is the right place, so please bear with me!

Would really love to start making quilts. Have never done so. Did sewing at school sometime last millennia and can sew on badges, buttons etc but thats about it.

Have never used a sewing machine.

I would like one of the small beginner machines (so need advice there!) and would like to make quilts for myself, and family members and give them as gifts etc.

Is this feasible???

Dont know where to start, how to start or what to try first.

Any advice gratefully recieved!!!

Thanks

I am a quilter and agree with ColdComfort.
They are nicer by hand and it is such a pleasing thing to do.
I made everyone in my family a kingsized one when my second child was newly born and I lived as very isolated life in a different (and very cvold) country.
I sweaer it stopped me going mad.

off to john lewis in the next couple of weeks to look at fabric....excited!!!!

ooooh I have all my fabric bought, washed and ironed and tonight I am starting on Terpsichore tutorial.....sooooo exciting.

Becaroooo how are you doing? Have you started yet?
