Newbie....Hello

Hi, my name is Shannon and I am very new to quilting. I would love to
learn how. I have
my sisters sewing machine, which is a Kenmore Mini Ultra 3/4 Size
Sewing Machine with 6 Stitches Plus Buttonhole. I am also new to
sewing, so I am learning a lot of things as I go.
I have made a rag quilt and some small tote bags. I would like to make
a rag quilt tote bag,
but don't know where to start. Could someone please help me or lead me
in the right
direction.

Thanks
Shannon

I can't help with the tote.... but I can say welcome! We're glad you found us!

I'm sure you'll learn a lot from your new quilting friends here.... we are a talkative bunch...
and I know I have learned much here!

Other things you should learn.... (besides quilting tips and techniques)
1) hide your chocolate (which, by the way -- are you a dark? light? milk? or other chocolate
lover?)
2) hide your stash --- especially if you announce you are taking a vacation or will be away from
home for long.

;-)

Tell us more about your family, any QI's (quilt inspectors aka pets). Favorite colors... favorite
fabric designers....

just tell us everything!

Kate - Thanks for the welcome. I love White Chocolate..I am allergic
to something in the dark chocolates.

I hope to learn a lot from all of you.

Thanks again,

Hi and Welcome from Downunder Shannon!

I am not sure what you mean by a rag quilt tote bag so I
cannot help either, but I wanted to warn you about the stash
pirates on this group. Don't tell anyone where you keep
your fabric stash!

Hi Shannon,

I can't help with the tote either, since I'm a new quilter myself, but I'd
like to welcome you to the group. I've only been here a short time and have
already learned about lot's of good tips and ideas. This is a very helpful
group!

Welcome Shannon,
I just finished my first rag quilt. I can't help with the tote question
but hope to be of help maybe in the future. I'm also new to this group
but have found it helpful and a joy to read.
I live in West Virginia, married 30 years. I have two furry friends at
home, we call them the "girls" golden retreiver litter mates. When I
get my website cleaned up I will share some photos. Good luck &
welcome

Shannon,

Welcome to the group, I am new to the group and quilting. Well I was
in the group back around 1996-97 but never did get the first quilt
made so I am now working on projects. Notice I didn't say a project I
said Projects. It is so much fun, I just can't wait to get something
finished that I can post.

Those handbag/totes on ebay are cute. Have you written the seller
about them, I have found that most are willing to share how they do
things.
