Bees, that why I beat to my own drummer! I learned on my own, with incouragement from my local quilt shop chicks. Have come up with some cool stuff. If you are getting the kids involved, all the better! Went to a quilt show early on in my startup phase, was Inspired and scared at the same time! A Guild wanted me to come in , but I work, And some can be stuffy, not all, but I am still a free bird! Do what ya love , listen to the great advice that you can get here, and ENJOY< remember it is YOUR QUILT!
