Self-taught from magazines. I never took a class and my grandmother/mother never quilted. My Mom knit and my grandma hooked rugs and made clothes. I had a sewing machine for 13 years and didn't use it much.... had to look up how to thread it every time I used it. Then I discovered quilting. I saw a quilt picture on the front of a magazine and thought it was something I could make. Once I started, I was hooked.
