Tina: Can you read something then sew it ? IF so go to your local Library, get some DVD's or books on quilting. Maybe even someone there maybe able to help you out as they maybe a quilter or sew (and have sewn quilts). Also go to as many quilting forums you have on the internet-pick up tips, ideas from them. This forum has some most wonderful ideas, and you can make some wonderful friends as well. Many on here will give you ideas, tips and are just plain wonderful.
I am a self taught learner, but the tips I have gleened from everywhere have helped me immensely for sure .. Right now I am reading old (1960's-1980's) magazines for tips and ideas (that were given to me when a friend's mother in law died and no one wanted the magazines she collected -Oh yea I will take em and get new ideas, tips etc from them !!).
