self taught: got interested because of PBS: read books, & this sight

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.

Self taught....watched Eleanor Burns for years when we still had an antenna and got 3 channels.

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.

My Grandmother taught me to sew and quilt but My sister and I take quilt classes and have learn a lot of simple ways to make a detailed quilt . We love class they call us the bobbsie Twins . It is so much fun and the quilts we make are beautiful

I have books By Billie Lauder, She shows you how to do every thing the easy way and come out with a beautiful quilt, I made one from her book. The books are Quilc Quilt Tricks, Quick Tricks squaared,,Beyond the Rail Fence. these are great books, and they do not cost much.

Riversong love your hearts with blinking eyes.

Chrickett, That is a very beautiful
Cougar !!! I love, Love cats, all sizes. Right now we have a female tiger named Bunny due to the fact that she came to us on Easter a few years ago. ( not a real tiger, LOL
