I always loved watching my Grandma quilt and made my first quilt when I was 16. Thank goodness for the internet, because I have learned soooooo much from multiple sources. My favorite discovery last year is
www.missouriquiltco.com.
Go to Youtube and do a search for Missouri Star Quilt Company. OMG! I think I've made at least a dozen quilts from Jenny's tutorials. Her early tutorials cover a lot of quilting lingo, which might be good for a true beginner. She is so entertaining to watch and LOVES her quilting projects. I love to make baby quilts and use her ideas for several of the quilts I've donated to Project Linus.
There are tons of other great tutorials online, but Jenny from the Missouri Star Quilt Company has to be the best!
