Its at the senior center in the next town over. Im not a senior but they let me join in anyway. I am excited to learn but I am not patient and want to learn it all in one day.. I felt comfortable with most of the ladies but there were a few that made me feel like I was intruding on their club. I have to say I never felt bad for being the youngest before today..
That's a wonderful way to learn how to quilt....jumping right in with probably many talented ladies who have been quilting for a long time. Take your time, ask questions, listen to their stories, have fun. I took a class at a local jr college that gave non-credit courses, like quilting, for anyone interested. There were 5 or 6 in the class and it was really nice to learn that way too. Many senior centers do make quilts and sell them, or donate to charities to generate revenue. Our senior center here does that - time prevents me from joining in but it sounds like fun and educational at the same time. It will be very inspiring to see all the things they will be working on. There's always someone out there to bring you down, I say ignore them and gravitate to the positive people in the group - the crabby ones will warm up in time perhaps.
I started a quilting class today
