self taught started out by watching simply quilts, elinor burns, and fons & porter and lots of books. Did take one class about 19 years ago never finished that quilt still have the blocks all made from templates cut from card board and hand sewn, cut out patches with sissors.

I've taken a few classes to start me off, and I'm ready to continue on my own now!

Between instruction books and the Internet, I have enough DIY resources to keep me going indefinitely....

I tood a class at my local adult school for a couple years. The teacher was a very traditional teacher and I learned so much from her. We started by cutting patterns from templates with scissors! Over the years I have added new techniques learned from others and some self taught.

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

I also am self taught. I look at a design and sit down and draw it. It is not always exact as the picture but close enough to warrant a copywrite.

I do go to classes (that pretty much insures that I will finish a quilt top in a timely fashon) but I'm pretty much self taught.
