    Default Good books for Newbie?

    I am a complete and total newbie to quilting. I don't even know how to sew. I just know that I have seen a few people making them at the Amish market, and it looked fun. Are there any good books that make it easy for a beginner to learn? Thank you!

    You can find many resources on the internet. Here is site that has videos on how to quilt. http://www.expertvillage.com/interviews/quilting-beginner-guide.htm As far as books go I really like Fon' and Porter's The Quilters Complete Guide. I would also visit a local quilt shop, if you have one. They usually offer a beginning quilt class relatively cheap.

    Good Luck, I know you will love it.

    I couldn't get the website to come up

    There is a knitting store, but no quilting store. There isn't even a fabric store anymore. Walmart no longer carries fabric and Joann moved out of town. This is probably a stupid question, but is there an online fabric store?
