I am self taught, I read a lot and watch quilting shows on TV.
I have been quilting for 40+ years.
Rotary cutters and great rulers have been a real plus for quilters.
I love making scrap quilts. After buying my machine embroidery
machine I have been making more baby/lab quilts. The design
pkgs. make such cute quilts.

I am self taught, I look at something I like and go home and re create it to the best of my ability

Well, I have taken one class, but for the most part I am self-taught. But to say that is also misleading, because I learned a lot of the basics of garment sewing from my mom and 4-H and home ec. class. But since I became an adult and started sewing more complex projects and quilting I've learned mostly from books and the internet. One friend did teach me paper piecing.

I am self taught all the way, I keep telling myself that I ought to take a class, but that may interfere with people that I am teaching. lol
I had watched a show on quilting about 12 years ago and just about 4 years ago I picked up some fabric and the pattern that went with it from walmart and went from there, it was the one with the moose, deer wolves and sucks on it, my husband is a hunter and I didn't know what else to do for him for Christmas. It turned out well and I managed to get three more done for my kids for the same Christmas,
