My mom taught me to sew, I belonged to a quilt guild and learned a lot from other women. I have a quilting machine and taught myself how to use it. I've had the machine since Oct '06 and I bet I'e quilted around 100 quilts.
I watch videos and read quilt machines for help.

Daughter got a older Singer sewing machine (maybe circa early '50's)in a blonde cabinet from an elderly neighbor. She gave to me - I started off making queen size quilts for both daughters using Sawtooth Star pattern - why or why start off sooooo big????? Daughters then bought me a Brother sewing machine from Wal-Mart for Christmas one year - and I have been happily sewing ever since. Just completed 6 quilts for Project Linus - and like may others have many UfO's. Would like a newer machine - but this works just fine until my pocket book an handle a major purchase. Never took a class but have a few books.

I am self-taught! Most sewing I every did was back in high school (ummmm about 40 years ago lol). Never liked "sewing". Love quilting! Just started a little of a year ago, and yes, it has been a trial and error but I have learned so much!!! I DO plan on taking some applique classes, though.
