Just some of the added options I would have added are books, magazines, and block of the month from stores.
I learned to quilt in High School Home Ec. class.

Yeah I basically learned through self teaching from doing a block of the month from joanns on my own and then reading on it, magazines, books and then just grew from there in all different directions.
I would have to start with this group telling the truth.....it was WANT and pure Need... my MiL is quilting now and I want the pretty stuff too so I had to learn any way I can.
hi mouselet, welcome to the group
Custom Quilt Kits: I learned to quilt in High School Home Ec. class.
Rose - I learned how to sew in Jr High Home Ec but, never learned to quilt then. DGM quilted tops and neighbor did the quilting on her Singer sewing machine. Wish I'd have learned then but, truly, it's a shame that they don't teach these things in school any longer.
I was taught how to sew from my mother and grandmother ,but I learned how to quilt on QCA from the great people on this site .Barbara
EAT!! SLEEP !! QUILT!!
I agree, there should be a few more options. My first class was a Community Ed. class, then I took a few classes from a friend who held classes in her home. The best answer I could come up with was "friend", although by that time I was already quilting.

I'm there with you, Gini. I'm pretty much self taught too in all areas of sewing. I once took a quilting class at a local high school's adult community ed classes and ended up helping the instructor with the class. All the students were beginners with no sewing experience except me. The instructor returned my class fee in exchange for helping her with the class. After that experience, I never took a class again. Since then I've learned all kinds of sewing on my own including historical costume and I make them authentically. Oh, dear, I'm rambling again....sorry.
I taught myself to quilt by looking at a picture. My very first quilt was a very large lap quilt. I gave it to my son when he got married 23 years ago.
my mil taught me......
