The closest place to take classes is 1hr 30minutes away.....
Perhaps you can make a day of it, take a couple of classes, go to the library, browse at the fabric shop or quilt store. I learned a lot by borrowing quilting books at the library. If there is a pattern I want I take down the instructions and scan the photos, that way I have them on hand. I also tried to start with simple patterns - 4-patch, 9-patch.
Take a break...go into your sewing room only when you feel the urge to do so. When we try to aim for perfection in everything, then we lose the pleasure in doing it since it becomes a chore rather than a hobby.
