Hi and welcome from St. Paul, Minnesota.
There is a lot to be said about self-taught - I am. Just remember we have no one to blame but ourselves! I like how my quilts turn out. They reflect my personality! I don't know if that is good or bad, but what you see is what you get. And if I make a mistake, no one knows it but me!
If you ever have a problem, the Quilting Board will solve it. I love this place. I'd rather be here than with a bunch of gossips. We got smarts here!!!!!!!
Again, welcome. Edie
