What a shame..I taught myself to quilt through many many books and TV shows. After I was comfortable with quilting I started doing Internet classes at QuiltUniversity.com.
Then down the road I joined a guild. What an eye opening experience...lots of help and there were newbies too. That was 6 years ago and I am now the guild president!
Classes can be too crowded and I get distracted.
E-mail me for a one on one talk.
