Good website to learn quilting/patchwork

Hi

Can anyone tell me a website that i might be able to learn from? I have
never done patchwork before and am very keen to learn.

Thanks
Michelle

The first place that comes to mind is:
www.quiltuniversity.com
Several people in this group have taken lessons; and, with one or two
exceptions, have found the classes excellent.
The classes are many and varied, and the whole organisation is structure
so that you can work in the way that best suits you. You can ask
questions even!
I suggest you go to the site and have a look to see what's on offer?

From your question, I presume you are unable to find classes locally, at
a Quilt Shop or some such? There might be someone, known to the people
in the Quilt Shop, who would give you a few private lessons?

If you have a local shop, pop in and see what they suggest.

Danielle did post the following link that I think is informative. Now that
I'm addicted, I thought I'd pass it along for others to enjoy. I did watch
Eleanor Burns make Christmas stockings. What a hoot she is! Thanks again
Danielle for another item on the addiction list! LOL

Howdy!

Welcome, Michelle, to the big, wide, wonderful world of quilting. ;-D

One of your best tools is the search engine. Google or Yahoo get
me to most of the info I want/need about quilting.
Here are a few sources to get some basics about quilting:

http://mccallsquilting.com/lessons/

http://www.quiltersnewsletter.com/

http://www.sew-whats-new.com/quiltlessons/

http://www.kathkwilts.com/lessons/

And of course, RCTQ--right here--is full of knowledge, advice, fun
and a few smart alecks who enjoy quilting & playing w/ quilts. ;-D

Anytime! I've got it going in the background as I read through the
newsgroups at the moment....there are quite a few interesting programs
if you don't mind Eleanor's unusual communication methods! :-) She's
very unique, but she's a great teacher!

I like http://www.victorianaquiltdesigns.ne...inePiecing.htm.
More tips and free patterns are available from the home page with
membership.

Michelle-

This website is the most comprehensive quilting info that I've ever
seen. It has great instructions on every sort of piecing, applique and
quilting technique. Have fun and good luck!

I've subscribed to this (free!) one for
ages ... always something of interest in
the newsletters. PAT

Thanks everyone for your info.

We are going to have classes where i live (rural country town in Australia)
but not for a few months yet and i thought i might have a go at doing
something simple prior to the classes starting. I will give it a go!
