I learned from my grandmother when I was 17 and didn't want to learn, but wanted to be with friend. Now that she is gone, I really could use Grandma's help. I took what she taught me and ran with it to do clothes, curtains, pillows and such. Then went into quilts. I took classes at the LQS and the library. Check out your library or church to see if there are people that get together and quilt. Mine does.
