I dropped out of my first quilting class :( This was a beginner's class and I had signed up a year in advance and was really anticipating it. But...I just couldn't wait a whole year to start a quilt, so I forged ahead. I bought a few books, used the internet and this forum to educate myself. My top was pieced by the time the class started. Essentially, by the time the class started I was no longer a beginner. I went to three of the ten classes and was bored and uninspired. No fault of the teacher because she was a good teacher. I've been sewing since I was 10 years old and some of the class participants had never touched a machine. Things plodded along at a painful pace, LOL. I still have a LOT to learn, but I guess I just like learning at my own pace. I'm finishing my first quilt and have already ordered fabric to start the second :lol:
Editing to say the class fabric was incredibly ugly - at least to me. I hate working with ugly fabric!
