I started out by purchasing Eleanor Burns' Quilt in a Day Log Cabin book. I also worked in a fabric store, and learned things from both the women I worked with and the customers. I checked books out from the library, bought more quilt books and patterns, sat by my sister when I quilted at her home, took classes and also I am learning something new everyday here on the quilting board. It's been a really fun journey--and I ain't done yet!!!
