Welcome to our happy little home within a home. You may want to try classes at the Tall Mouse or Leah's in your area. Most of the ladies there are very helpful. I took my first formal quilting class at LBCC and actually got 3 units of fine art credit for it. Zfatcat doesn't live too far from you in Fullerton, so maybe you two can meet up.
Can't go wrong with QIAD books and fabrics and notions and fusiables and....well, you get the point.

Just go to: http://www.quiltinaday.com/classes/ and look at all the classes, there's even a beginner one. And they are so friendly there, I'm sure one of them would be happy to help you choose your fabric for a special quilt. Even to helping you to decide which quilt to do first.

Audrey, I hope you have learned enough from us to purchase enough at the sales to qualify for the free shipping??? Good choices on the books and DVDs. The DVDs help those of us who learn by seeing, not just looking at the pictures. I always appreciate a demo!

Hi Audrey
There are hardly any quilting classes in my area either, but I have found all of Eleanor's books and DVD's so very helpful!
I also watch a lot of quilting shows, they all have their different techniques. I'm a very visual person, and have to see it in order to learn it. But the books are a great resource.
My two daughters are also picking up the art of quilting because of my enthusiasm hahaha. I've recorded every program I can get my hands on and have passed it on to them.
