Good morning! The Henry Glass Fabrics e-mail box was full with a lot of activity this weekend. We came in to discover many more submissions to the Kim Diehl Simple Whatnots Club Contest. For the procrastinators, you still have until midnight March 31, 2015. Thank you to all who have sent in a photograph of their Kim Diehl quilt. If a shop has the Heritage Stars quilt on display but hasn't entered, it is simple. Take a photograph and e-mail it to us by tomorrow night! See flyer below. Good luck!
We have received some wonderful submissions. Here are a couple more [in no particular order or preference] that may inspire you.

I was given the gift of classes at a lical quilt shop. I learned so many techniques. I got my love of quilting by my quilt guild. Nothing better than a room full of quilters encouraging one another.
Sweet bundle. I am a self taught quilter. I learn new things about quilting all of the time. Thank you for the tips and the pattern you always have on your giveaway bundles.
Have a little 18 mos old who is a snuggle bunny. Love to see her in this.
No one taught me to make a quilt..I started on my own and have been learning new things ever since...
I taught myself from a book back in the 70's.
I am a self learner - the internet and blogging community has been a huge help to me over the years.
I had to laugh as we had 3" of unexpected snow overnight.
I mostly learned by reading books and magazines but had my MIL to answer questions and give advice.
Hello HG friends, the Mommy & Me fabrics are just too cute! I need to make a couple baby quilts this year and a bundle of these prints would be perfect. Have a great Monday!

too cute...
I wish my mother or grandmothers had quilted, but I am mostly self taught using quilt books. I have taken a couple technique classes.
I've been quilting since I retired 10 years ago. An elderly friend invited me to her Tuesday weekly quilt group. I'm still there! I'm the youngest of 5 at 66. The others are 90,88,85,&79! I'm still learning a lot & they are great teachers!
I took classes!
Actually, 2 ladies taught me to quilt. The first was Becky, who gifted me with a quilting class. The second was Louise, who taught that class. It was a 4 week class, but we continued for 3 months. It was a blast, and I learned how to correctly quilt. That color selection thing didn't take too well, but I do love quilting.
Mommy & Me by Simply Shelly Designs is so cute. I know of a few new arrivals who would love to be wrapped up in something made from these.

I took a beginning quilt class at a small quilt shop in Pensacola, FL in 1985.

I taught myself by using the Quilt in a Day book.

I'd like to sew a duvet cover for kids
I took a beginner quilt making class at a now closed quilt shop.
I took a beginner quilting class that was very informal and basically one-on-one!! It was the best thing I ever did to get started!!!

No one taught me how to quilt. I am learning from tutorials and utube. It's pretty difficult but I am trying

My mother and grandmother both taught me how to sew when I was young. I started out with felt clothes for my troll dolls. Not sure that actually qualifies as sewing though.
My friend, Fran, signed us up for a beginner's sampler quilt class at our local quilt shop. The owner of the shop was a great teacher so we kept taking classes from her until the shop closed. That was over 30 years ago. I still meet with Fran once a week so we can quilt together.

My mother was an excellent seamstress and needle worker, but not particularly a quilter. I inherited her sewing skills but am more-or-less a self-taught quilter. I would love to win that cute bundle of fabric. Thanks!
Love these little quilts. I took a class at a local night school to learn how to quilt.
I am self taught many many years ago.
No snow coming. I think we are past the snow season now.
Adorable prints! So perfect for baby quilts!
Yes we're getting snow tomorrow!
I took a class at my LQS and watched online tutorials!
I am self taught. No one in my family is a quilter so I took classes and read magazines. I am hooked on fabric.
We are getting snow as I write this. Enough already.
My mom and grandmother taught me to quilt!
We are supposed to only have flurries and some sleet this week!
I taught myself by looking at quilt books.
My best friends' mother taught me to quilt 20 years ago, thanks Barb!

I was addicted to quilting by my older sister. We live across country from each other, but are connected through our quilt projects.

I have been sewing since I was 11 yrs. old (my mother taught me). I have been quilting for close to 30 yrs. and I taught myself how to quilt. Thanks for the cute giveaway.
Mostly the Internet!
Today I taught my 7 year old grand daughter how to sew.
I'm self-taught, though in later years, I did take some classes. I used magazine articles in the early seventies plus trial and error! Thanks for a great fabric giveaway. These would be wonderful for an upcoming baby!
Library books!
When I found quilt classes were being offered at nearby quilt shops, I took as many classes as I could from lots of different teachers. -- soparkaveataoldotcom

I learned about 3.5 years ago from Chasing Cottons' Quilt Class 101 blog series.
I am self taught, but have enjoyed some classes at crafty. Love the free, inspiration I find daily on you tube.
Pretty much everything I know I learned from the Internet. M:). Blogs are wonderful.
I commented as Anonymous and forgot to leave my email

Hope to win and make a quilt for my new grandbaby due in July. I am self taught but the access to the world wide web has taught me lots. Love the classes at Craftsy.com
I taught myself to quilt through the wonderful world of the Internet! You can learn everything you need to know around here.....and so much more! Awesomeness abounds :)
No one that I know quilts, so I taught myself how to by trial and error. Thanks!
Please click on the delaineelliott above for my email link.
I taught myself how to quilt about 15 years ago. I learned a lot through trial and error. Thanks for the chance to win!
I learned quilting at my local fabric shop!!
No snow due here this week!
I am self taught using books, magazines and the internet x
Two older women in the small town where I live taught me to quilt in 1980...many moons ago by now.
The internet taught me how to quilt.
I am self taught, not very good yet, but I enjoy it a lot.
/Those fabrics are way too cute!!! A dear friend came over to my house 28 years ago and showed me how to make a Trip Around the World quilt. My daughter still uses the quilt even though it is very faded and very thin.
I took a class at a local quilt shop in 1982. I had been sewing for many years prior and probably attempted some patchwork doll quilts, but that class set me off on a wonderful journey.
I took a beginners quilting class with my mother and my aunt.
I have been teaching myself how to quilt, and my friend has given me some tips. I find the name of this fabric humorous - in australia, the spelling is "mummy" rather than "mommy" and this fabric has aussie animals on it, so you'd think they'd do "mummy" as the spelling!!
My friend Jan. She lives in another country so it's been by e-mails rather than in person
I am self taught! I am a FACS teacher and figured I absolutely had to learn this art to pass on to my students!
I took sewing in high school in the 70's but never really enjoyed it, I started quilting in 2002 taught myself and took some classes at my local quilt shop.
Self taught with the incredible support of a dear friend on line on the other side of the country!So thankful for online tutorials and videos to help too!
I have learned a bit from my mom and friends....
