I learned to quilt on my own. I did watch my Mom a few times. But decided I can do this. Bought cheaters clothe and tried it. And I loved it. I have quilted for Quilts Unlimited in Williamsburg, Va. And also Cabin Creek Quilts in Malden, WV. I gave them up and make extra money by quilting for others. In between working construction jobs. I'm setting her right now working on a table runner. It's almost done on the quilting part.
