Do you have a quilt shop close to you that gives classes? Usually the LQS has a schedule of classes they offer, if possible talk to other customers in the store and ask if they have taken classes there and can recommend one. You learn a lot by just being bold and speaking to someone you do not know (remember to smile--grin). If they have taken classes and love them, ask who the teacher was.
Some chain stores offer classes, but the people conducting them have not had experience teaching. they are just assigned the job and try to struggle through, with no clue what they are doing. Good luck --Oh if there is a quilt guild in your area, visit and join, it may take a bit to make a personal connection with another member, but just smile and maybe praise something they have on or have in their hands. better yet ask about their project, most people love to talk about their work. Hope some of the suggestions help and do not give up. We love new quilters.
