    I hope you enjoy your class. I loved my teachers in the beginners class I took 3 1/2 years ago. Quilting is a great hobby/obsession. I look forward you to posting some pics of your completed blocks and the final quilt.

    Hello from Texas. I get so excited when a man wants to learn to quilt. Most men have an excellent eye for color and designs. Just enjoy what you are doing!

    My first beginners class was worth every penny I paid for it. I learned so much from it & all of it has stuck with me. I tell anyone that is just starting to quilt to take a beginners class. I learned short cuts & color cordination & construction & ripping! LOL can't forget that! But a beginners class is the way to go

    Hey!
    Well done! From one male quilter to another, to tell you the truth being male has kept me from seeking out a beginners class.
    Good luck with your quilting!

    I had a coworker tell me quilting was for old ladies,and i'm only 30. i told him no, young people quilt, men quilt, I just saw an article on a truck driver the other day that quilts. I guess he started by helping his wife and got hooked. I also saw a young male skateboarder. I think most people don't realize how many different types of people quilt. Good for you for defying those stereotypes.

    Cheers for you. You will have a great time at the classes. Don't be afraid to speak up as your ideas are important, too. Can't wait to see what you learned.
