I already knew how to sew, as I made clothes in the distant past. I learned to quilt by watching youtube videos. I also joined an online group that was great to help me
(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/qu...br0-bd~t_29998). It's a small group, they are very experienced quilters, and enjoy sharing. My local quilt shop was helpful, too. The "other" local quilt shop was really aggressive in selling their classes, to the point I refused to attend a class. So, youtube, here I came.
My goal was to make a quilt - one quilt. It was on my bucket list. I did, plus a few more. It's a great hobby/craft.
