Chris,
One of my favorite quilt shops is the Quilters Toy Box in Muncie. Now, I live too far away to shop there, but I am sure to stop at their booth at quilt shows. If that was one of your unsuccessful attempts for help, try again. Check hours as they are not open every day. Have you contacted the Guild in Muncie? I have been to several of their shows excellent quilts. They may know of someone who would teach you one on one. If you don’t mind driving a little, there is a guild in Decatur that has male members who are teachers. Just don’t give up, more and more males are bitten by the quilting bug every day.
Good Luck,
