How did you learn how to quilt?
#121
The first one was Qauilt in a Day kit that was in a magazine and then he bought me a sewing machine and I thought I had a chance to sew straight with short seams. (I didn't know how wrong I could be. LOL) Took some classes and am, I admit, totally addicted.

I have sewed all my life,but I never thought in my wildest dream I would quilt.
I saw my mother in law quilt, every fall she would put up her quilting frame( it hung from the celing ) and it stayed there all winter.I started volentering to help in the county quilt show, after I retired, that is when I tought myself to quilt.

Three years ago I took a sewing class at Encore (a place for people 50+ that offer classes for free) I saw some of the people there making quilts and thought to myself that I could do that. I learned the basics through the class and a lot more through the book "Better Homes and Gardens Complete Guide to Quilting" I've been hooked ever since.

No one in my family are sewers so I've been going to local classes, but also learnt quite a bit off the quilt in day show, which was the only quilting show we got here, but sadly they have stopped showing it now.
