Self taught; no classes here. Did watch my Mom and Grandma Strohl quilt. Have researched, magazines, books and here is such a wonderful help.

I took one or two classes about ten years ago and made a log cabin. Now I research everything on the internet and am self taught. I even learned embroidery on my own.

I came from a background of clothing construction so I knew a lot about making clothes. I started making quilts when I started having grandbabies. I pretty much taught myself to quilt. I joined a quilt guild and took some of their classes and learned tips and techniques to improve my skills. It also helped me expand my horizions in quilting. Also have learned a lot watching the quilting shows on PBS and videos thru the internet.

Self taught with the help of watching the quilting shows on t.v. Also books to get quilt ideas, but I mostly design my own.

I started sewing as a child, and went to my first quilt class in the '80s. I have taken classes, read a lot, watched a lot of videos, and have taught more than a few folks. Even so, I still learn new things!

I started learning to sew when I was 6(hand embroidery)& with the sewing machine at 9 or 10. I didn't learn to quilt until I was 30.
