    I want to teach myself how to quilt and in order to do that I will have to learn how to sew!!! Never have before and really would like to now.

    Also would love to find out how to get some cheap fabric to get started. I have tried all the thrift stores but nothing there.

    I want to learn web page building not yahoo but actual web building. I also want to learn to knit more than just knit and purl, which is what I have taught myself so far.

    I have only quilted little things like a table runner and small holiday gifts but I have never really learned the basics, so I signed up for a class called Quilting- the basics. It runs for 7 weeks starting in Feb. I am looking forward to learning more.
    I want to make quilts for my kids and my Granddaughter and my Grandson who will be here in early March. In the class i am taking you can choose either a wall hanging or a crib quilt. I'm going to do the crib quilt.

    I'd like to learn how to machine quilt.
    On the other hand I need to learn to make smaller stitches when quilting by hand.
