My suggestion is not to start your venture into quilting by going to a retreat. The people that go to retreats are there to enjoy working on their projects. They do not go to teach someone how to quilt. This is there “My Time”. Start by going to a Quilting 101 class at your local quilt shop. After learning the basics, take classes when you can to learn new techniques. (You do not have to make an entire quilt that you do not like, but go to learn the technique). Find a local guild and join it. Do not be discouraged because you do not know anyone. Volunteering at the guild will introduce you to a lot of quilters. Join one of their “Bee’s”. After you have some experience on how to cut fabric, sew a 1/4” seam, and read a pattern, you can consider going to a retreat and enjoy your time with other quilters.
