I just began quilting in Sept of 2008. I had wanted to try it for years but everytime I surfed around looking for information on it....I just became overwhelmed.......and didn't know where to start.
Finally found a quilting class at a local quilt shop in Sept and took a beginner class based on Eleanor Burns book "It's Elementary".
Loved the class and am now addicted to quilting!!
I also signed up for a class on Paper Piecing starting next month. None of my friends quilt so I like to take classed just to meet new people who love quilting.
