Find a quilt group in your town or close to you and that will enhance what you can learn here. This is a great site and I think you'll really like it. My church started a class last year and we have no dues or set regimen, but it is working and we help each other, do things for charity, and for our church--crib sheets, aprons for the kitchen, a wall hanging for our prayer room, etc. In the community, we have supported a community shower for low income families, young mothers needing help, etc. by making baby quilts, bibs, etc. This shower idea was just started about 3 years ago, so our group has participated in the last 2. We have a great fellowship and some of us had never quilted before. We even had a young woman who had never even used a sewing machine. Before she moved out of town, she had made 2 quilts and started on a 3rd.
