How to learn how to make a quilt
It made me 
"I wanted to create something lasting for my family and friends, so I taught myself how."
How I did it: I bought a $100 sewing machine. I bought tons of fabric on clearance and practiced, practiced, practiced. I did not have time for any classes, so I watched video or how toos on line. I read books, and studied patterns from books and magazines and websites. Most of all just relax and be creative, don't try to be perfect. I started with rag quilts. Anyone can do those, then moved on to baby quilts. Start with beginner patterns and playing colors together. There are plenty of free patterns online. Try allcrafts.com or allpeoplequilt.com Most large fabric chains online have free patterns you can download. I would go to the local craft and/or fabric store, go to the quilting supplies or fabrics and you will almost always meet someone there who wants to talk about what they are working on and can give you great tips. It takes years to be good at making a quilt. But it is a very rewarding hobby.

finally went to michaels to ask about lessons, and most of them are on weekday mornings, so i obviously can’t go to those cuz of work. weekends have been busy too, will prolly wait till after the semester is over to concentrate on this goal :)
