You
Will Learn To Make a Quilt and Much, Much More
If you’re
like me, when I decided to start quilting, I had no idea how to
begin. None of my friends made quilts…nobody in my family made quilts…the
one quilt shop in my town didn’t have any books for beginning quilters…and
I didn’t know about quilt guilds. There was no easy way for me to
learn to quilt.
I wanted
a book that was easy to understand and that had step-by-step
instructions specifically written for a beginning quilter.
I wanted
somebody to take an easy quilt pattern, describe some of the simple
color and design choices I could make (without turning it into a difficult
project), then walk me through the process - from telling me what
supplies to buy to showing me how to bind a quilt - with pictures
so I could both read and see how to make a quilt.
(Kind of like those paint-by-the-numbers kits!)
I
wanted a book that I could carry from my cutting table to my sewing
machine as I was creating my masterpiece, so that I could compare
my results and make sure that I was doing it "right."
I spent
hours looking for a "learn to quilt book" for beginners;
none was to be found. I started looking at individual quilt patterns
- but because the instructions were locked securely inside the package,
I couldn't tell whether it would be easy or difficult to make.
I looked
at books of patterns that included instructions. There were plenty
of different quilt patterns in each book, but the instructions were
pretty skimpy, and the pictures were only drawings of the finished
pieces, not pictures of what each step looked like as you were cutting,
sewing, or pressing.

different ways to sew triangles. Using these methods, you
will create stars, pinwheels, medallions and more in a breeze
- taking your quilting beyond your wildest beginning dreams.

the steps in an easy-to-follow format.
"How Do I Know You Can Teach Me How to Sew a Quilt?"
Years
after I learned how to quilt, my daughter, Stephanie, decided to
take sewing classes from Barbara, a lady down the street. Barbara
loved to make clothes, and wanted to share her craft
with children, so about five of the neighborhood girls went to her
house once a week and learned to make clothes. The clothes were
beautiful! And the girls had great fun. Barbara even staged fashion
shows in her lovely back yard so these young ladies could show off
their accomplishments to family and friends.
Then
one day, it happened. Stephanie announced that
she wanted to learn how to make a quilt. Barbara panicked.
She was an expert at making clothes, but knew nothing about how
to sew a quilt. I knew that my daughter didn't want to learn how
to make a quilt from me - she wanted Barbara to teach her.
So,
Barbara and I hatched a plot. During the day, when
the girls were in school, I went to her house and taught her how
to make a quilt. We picked an easy pattern - straight stitching,
squares, simple borders, machine quilting, and easy binding. With
my step-by-step, easy-to-understand approach, Barbara learned
how to make a quilt with skill and ease.
Several
of the girls started making quilts, and Barbara stayed far enough
ahead of them in her lessons that she was able to teach them, using
the same step-by-step technique I taught her. At the next fashion
show, the girls modeled their clothes and carried their quilts,
and Barbara shared the quilt she made, too.
But,
you say, Barbara already knew a lot about sewing. What about those
of us who are just learning to sew?
So
Easy a 7 Year Old Boy Can Make a Quilt!
"Wow!"
you say, "Is THAT really possible?"
For
years, my son watched Stephanie and I make quilts. When
he was 7, he decided he wanted to make a quilt
too. And, yes, he learned. Barbara taught him the sewing
basics. He made a shirt and a pair of pants.
After
about 4 months of basic machine sewing lessons, it was time for
the quilt. He decided to make a "Solar System" quilt -
complete with planets and stars. Using the same step-by-step
approach I used with Barbara, I taught him how to sew his
Solar System Quilt. It took a few weeks of concentrated effort,
and his completed quilt still is a source of pride and enjoyment
for the entire family!
I could
tell you about the Girl Scout Troop, the after school club, and
the ladies in the evening sewing group, but you get the idea. I've
taught many people with different abilities how to make beautiful
quilts. And I can teach you, too.
