Beginner Quilting... is Fun!
“That’s why I’m sittin’ up here!”So, you want to be a Quilter? ..................Beginner quilting is so much fun! But why make the mistakes I made when starting out as a quilter? 
I have a habit of diving right into things—both feet—way over my head. With quilting it was the same thing.
—where it sits today. Believe me, UFO (UnFinished Object) is an official quilting term you really don’t want to learn. You don’t really want to win any “quilter with the most UFOs” awards at a retreat or camp! Learning something new is always challenging—even if everything goes smoothly. The thing is, the challenge diminishes when someone leads you through the steps. As my Grandma Mac once said, “That’s why I’m sittin’ up here!” With four people becoming new quilters every minute, there’s a big need for helping, teaching and making the process of quilting fun! I love everything about quilting—the design process, the cutting, the sewing and quilting the assembled project on my HandiQuilter (even though I’m still learning). I guess I’d have to say binding is my least favorite part.
That’s why I came up with OBO (One Block Only)
To teach the Beginner Quilter how to make quilts in a fun, To create excitement for learning how to make something Most importantly...actually finish a project! 
It’s a back-to-basics, a baby step(okay, BIG Baby Steps!) way of learning how to make a whole quilt. We’re talking running in the sprinklers fun! Are You ready to have some quilting fun?
