If you're in Wilmington, I would suggest that you take a class at Sewing Circle on Oleander Drive. Give Fran or Andrea a call. When I first started it was a hand quilting class that helped me more than anything.

Check to see if you have a Project Linus group near you. We have many beginner quilters start by joining the group, tying quilts, and then VOILA! they take home a kit that Project Linus puts together and make a top. I've seen several people who knew nothing about quilting end up making a quilt for Project Linus and one for themselves! There is plenty of help with many friendly quilters! :D

I had such the time trying to find a class or a teacher~so what I did (and don't laugh) but I went to YouTube and searched video's on quilting~I found it to be very useful. But I did practice cutting and sewing strips first. I just completed my first quilt. It is for my 3 year old niece.

Hi,
It's so exciting to get going. All the advice has been good, so I have only one thing to ad. As you buy a book or two always read all the information in them in addition to the patterns. There is often lots of good information, and soon you'll be a "pro."
