another self taught... started in '67 or '68 with my mom when we lived on Oahu. Mom was an artist and the first quilts we made were her own design. I have those quilts somewhere...

Those shows you mentioned were great. I looked forward to them so much. Nothing lasts forever so now I am on my own like many of you. Did you tape any of those shows? I did but never watch them for some reason. Seems there is always something else to do and it 's hard to get to do the "fun" things.Being a stubborn yankee I keep on trying. Love, Love the Board !

Granma showed me some very basic stuff, I joined our local small town quilt club and learned a few more things, then bought all the used books I could find and a few new ones. At quilt club they give a BOM and we go home and do it.

Other than Home Ec class in Jr. High, I am self taught. I started with clothes and have added quilting over the last few years, but I have been sewing for 30 years now.
