Never thought about that. I am afraid if I go to a Senior Center I will want to adopt and grandma or grandpa. :D
And that is bad, why?

My best friends over the years have been way older than me. They are all gone now. You can learn so much from older people. LOL 'Older people' is now me.....

Does your local quilt guild have beginner lessons?

Also, sometimes colleges offer continuing education classes for all kinds of topics: quilting, computers, photography etc.

That's where I took my first two classes. They were great. One was for a T-shirt quilt and the other was a rail fence. Both were very basic and from A to Z basics.

There are an amazing number of free videos on youtube.com. I especially like the ones by Missouri Star Quilt Company but there might be some that are even more elementary. Jenny Doan (of MSQC) also has an online course you pay for but I think it's excellent (I did it). You can stop, start, replay, type in questions (and she really does reply to them).
