This was a bit challenging but it turned out okay and the teacher gave it back to me (I still have it). My next attempt was to help my daughter make a small quilt for an apprentice project in 6th grade. Her little quilt turned out rather nicely even though she had an amateur guiding her. I finally took a class at my local quilt shop to learn more about it. Since then I have taken many more classes to learn new techniques.Deb B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00894009400424005800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041229424628777531.post-89612040264099811072016-05-07T08:39:25.599-04:002016-05-07T08:39:25.599-04:00Wow!

I have yet to do applique but it seems about 90% of the blocks I'm drawn to are applique, so I know it's only a matter of time.<br /><br />I had no one to teach me how to quilt. I've been learning on my own from reading blogs and watching a lot of video classes on Craftsy. Between the two, I feel pretty good about my knowledge. I did take a beginner quilting class locally, however it was not as good as it could have been. We were not taught alot of things and the biggest complaint I had about that class is that we weren't taught a thing about binding which I would assume should be an absolute must in learning to quilt. How can you ever finish a quilt if you never get taught binding? I've learned much more online than from that class.

This may seem odd, but my daughter has been teaching me and referring me to sources of more information. I've only been actively at it for about 3 years, and I am now beginning to feel confident. However, I am not feeling confident enough to tackle applique like this.

I'm sure I still have those pieces boxed somewhere in the attic. But then in 2007, I discovered the rotary cutter, and I kind of taught myself to quilt, from books & magazines.

Wool is interesting to work with and fusing it down first makes it so much easier to work with. What a beautiful block you ended up with! I have had the pleasure of teaching many different children to sew while teaching K -6 in rural schools...but it is also so much fun teaching my granddaughter to sew, knit and crochet as she grows up. It is so much fun to share what you have learned with others and brings much joy.
