I asked for help (on a one on one basis) they could not be bothered to help I have been doing basic quilting for a number of years untill recently. Now I want to Improve my skills,
I even offered to have my wife sit in on the sessions. nope not intrested not for any price. SIGH I just want to quilt.
SOOOOOOOOO I am putting out a call here for any male quilters in my area that have advanced skill levels for help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No No No I am not putting women down.
Yours in Quilting
Chris
