I am completely self taught!
I bought a book and the result wasn't too bad!
I hadn't sewn for years. Other than that, I get books and magazines and try, try again.
Till I met these wonderful people on this board, I have never had any "instruction" nor "advice".
I don't take classes because I used to work nights and that's when the classes were or now that I have moved, seems the classes are in the afternoons and now I work days.
Plus I am a bit intimidated with classes. They seemed to be filled with quilt police, clickish and not too accomadating to new faces.
No worries.
I just quilt along. My goal is not to make award winning quilts, just snuggly, feel good blankets.
