I am self taught, I look at something I like and go home and re create it to the best of my ability |
Took about 6 classes that were....work on your project, and ask for help if you need it. I think that qualifies me as self-taught. Just started in the fall of 2005.

I watched my then MIL make quilts in the late 70's/early 80's, and then made a friendship quilt for my mother where I cut and sent out many white 12x12 blocks and got them back with all sorts of different memories and signatures on them...I put them together with a sashing. That would have been `81... a few years later, I made a Mariner's Compass wall hanging, and a couple of star quilts...no one told me they weren't exactly beginner's projects, and they turned out great! I quit again for several years, and am just this past year getting back to quilting...and I'm loving it! :)

Self-taught and still learning!

Self-taught -- from books, magazines, patterns from Simplicity, etc. back in the day (but I've only ever used one, and it was made to display in a Minnestota Fabrics store where I was working at the time), and now through TV and this board! :thumbup: I haven't taken any classes, but I sometimes think about it. :oops:

I am self taught. However, I did take a pp class.
