Hello and welcome from Germany. When I started quilting, I took a class. After I got an idea of the whole quilting thingy, it was much easier for me to learn/understand things from books or the internet. Most of all: Enjoy the process, it is meant to be fun!

Welcome aboard! :-)
Seek out other quilters in your area. The only thing we like better than quilting is helping somebody else learn. :-)
Google for quilt guilds in Georgia and for quilt shops. You might also see if there's a community bulletin board at your library where you can post a request.
i'm down in southeast georgia. we also have members in other parts of the state.
if you live in my area i'd love to help! :-)

Hey there,
Go to your local quilt shop and sign up for a basic beginner class..You will learn great fundamentals, learn how to use a rotary cutter, ect...The internet, libraries, magazines are also a wonderful way to learn and can enhance everything you learn in a basic class....Enjoy!
