But I staunchly believe in multigenerational quilting where everyone learns from everyone else. I believe this because of what I do for a living: I'm a digital exec who works with people of all ages and we all benefit greatly from each others creative talents. I would like to figure out a business to cater to younger quilters. Right now Spoonflower, a great fabric online store is an example of a new way to think about our fabric and how to buy it. Only prob: really expensive. I'd like to know from the 20-35 age women on this community how they feel about shopping for fabric, finding great patterns, whether online courses and YouTube are the best ways for them to hone their skills etc.......So whaddya think? And oh yeah, anybody know of any mobile apps geared specifically at creating quilts?
