I read these posts and look at all the wonderful pictures, there is so much talent out there. Are you sharing your knowledge/talents with someone else? Maybe a daughter or sister. My grandmother started my interest years ago with embroidery and I love that she did that for me. I have tried to get my two friends interested in quilting. One of them has made a couple of quilts. I want to hold classes one day for children and teach them the basics of quilting. I think it is so important to keep the craft alive and well. Even the hand piecing and quilting. What do you guys think? :?: :roll:

My 23 year old daughter is "catching" the quilting bug.

I wish I had family that wanted to learn. My sister talks about it and I have taught a close friend. I don't have children just nieces and nephews.

I did join the adopt a newbie on the board. That is the only way of sharing I have right now.

Teaching someone else is a great idea!!

You should check out the 'newbie challenge' thread, if you would like to hone your teaching skills in the meantime. There are a lot of new to quilting people who frequent this board, and are wanting someone to teach new(to them) methods.

Any time there is an opportunity to share this wonderful occupation, I say, go for it! :thumbup:

I taught quilting to two co-workers at different times. Both times I created monsters. Last month I was showing a trapunto project at show and tell at my guild and the someone suggested I teach a class on it. Twenty minutes later I had set up a day and had 10 people sign up for it. This weekend I am getting my samples ready. I am looking forward to it. I never taught a group, but this may be my first step into the teaching world.

I am teaching my sil, she caught the quiliting bug.

Yes, I teach others. My neice is hooked.

I taught the first of three classes today, volunteering my time, if for Project Linus. All 5 are new to quilting, and they are haveing fun. :)

I teach on here all the time and I have helped a few friends through a quilt or two, as well as machine embroidery as well, I have taught all of my kids to sew as well,

I am teaching my grand daughter.

Over the years, I have taught my two sisters, SIL(and her daughter), many,many friends, teach a workshop, and I adopted a "newbie", AND on top of all this, I am still learning....
