If you are interested in learning to quilt, joining NBQA is a great way to start. There are several member workshops over the course of the year and opportunities such as “Quilt-a-thons” to work side by side with experienced quilters.
You may also try contacting your local quilt shop. Quilt shops usually offer a variety of classes for quilters of every level. Sometimes classes are specifically labeled as “learn to quilt” and others are focused on a project that will teach you quilting skills along the way. The quilt shop staff can help guide you.
The following NBQA Members teach new quilters:
