I learned from my mother and grandmother. Each had their own way of doing a quilt, but I have melded those together to make the quilts I make. I am basically self taught (books,several senior friends also taught me when i was younger-I would go to the senior center with my DH wonderful Grandmother and learn from those ladies), I watch quilting programs and come on here and learn more everytime I look at a quilt.
So the moral of the story is: never stop learning how to quilt, pass it on if you can; children are sponges when it comes to learning new things! Everyone's technique is different and something can be learned from each.
I have a Brother embroidery and a Brother sewing machine, a serger as well. (not only do I quilt but I sew clothes for my grands !LOL)
Welcome to the board and never stop learning !!
