I learner how to quilt from my mother. She is now 95 and is currently hand-quilting a queen size quilt i began making 14 years ago!
My daughter taught herself to quilt, and I learned by helping her!
I was self taught and then a few years later I took a class.
I learned to sew from my Mother but I am working on teaching myself to quilt (books, magazines, and online sites).
I am actually trying to teach myself ( with the help of all the great sites)
This is a cute Quilt. I’m thinking of doing it for my Granddaughter. It’s an easy quilt for beginers.
I learned to quilt by buying a kit.
My Mamma started teaching me to quilt when I was 8 years old. She had a hanging quilting rack that she pulled up to the ceiling when she was not working on a quilt. I thought it was the best thing ever to go to Mamma’s house after school so I could help her quilt.
I taught myself how to quilt, using books and the internet!
Would love to learn to quilt….
not a quilter.. but my grandmother was, and she did amazing work.
I played around the quilting frame as a child, as my mother and her friends quilted. I learned to sew through 4-H, and I had lots of friends who helped me learn to quilt.
The same way I learned to hand sew, tat and crochet — by sitting on the floor next to my grandma and watching her.
my sis gave me a few pointers to get me started … that and google.
At my granny’s knee..the same way I learned everything else important.
Very Pretty. Wish I could quilt!
I don’t but I soooo want to learn! I am buying books and signing up for on line classe.
What a great idea. Love to quilt. I started by tying the quilts after they were put together .

I am learning to quilt, I always love quilts and the beauty of them
I first learned about quilting from a wonderful lady in 1968. She was my 4H leader. I will always have fond memories of her and all the beautiful things she made. She taught my sister and I how to sew Raggedy Ann dolls, quilting, cooking, wood working, but most of all she taught with love.
I have been sewing most of my life. I bagan quilting about 10 years ago. I made pillows for my co-workers. I enjoyed it enough to keep going. I have made most of the people in the family a quilt for birthdays, graduations or Christmas. I always have three oe more going at once. Some day I will catch up!
I learned to quilt from my other mom – my mother in law. She was an awesome lady.
when i was growing up we tied sheets together to make quilts I started reading books on how to quilt.i always did alot of reasearch) I was finally able to take some class in a quilt store. now the computer as well. the learning never stops
I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO TEACH MYSELF HOW TO QUILT. READING AND ENJOYING ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS QUILTING I CAN GET MY HANDS ON, TRULLY LOVE THE QUILT I’M GONNA GET THE INFO AND START LOOKING FOR MATERIAL. THANKS.
My mother showed me how to quilt when i wanted to quilt a pineapple motiff on a pillow. I still have the pillow. I probably quilted it in the 1980’s.
