I am a quilter in the closet...

Well, I took my first quilting class a few years ago, but I still consider myself a "Newbie". After several periods of non-quilting, I had only finished a handful of quilts and was still trying out new techniques and styles to find "my thing". Then I started this blog. It has inspired me to grow in my craft in ways I didn't expect.

I created this blog for numerous reasons: 1) to motivate me to quilt on a more continuous basis, 2) to appeal to other Newbie Quilters out there (sometimes hearing the trials and tribulations of someone at a similar level of expertise is even better than getting the info from a pro)., and 3) to make more quilting friends.

Now for what you are really wondering...why am I in the closet? Well, as a Newbie, I am still learning my skills. And while my family and a few select friends know that I am a quilter, that knowledge is still met with whispers and eyebrow raising. I even still get the occasional, "Seems a little young to be doing such things". So until I am ready to say it loud and proud, I remain "in the closet", except to those of you that share my passion.
