I would love to help anyone with beginning quilting, free motion embroidery and quilting, raw edge applique and art quilts. I am also a cyber quilter. That means I can help you use your computer to search for quilting techniques, quilt patterns, supplies, etc. I can also help other beginner fabric dyers.
