Quiltmaking teachers are working in a non-credentialed environment where students choose to participate in classes and workshops as a leisure activity, selecting a form of nonformal learning to enrich their personal informal learning. These teachers have followed their own journey in quiltmaking and embarked on another journey to teach others. However, in pursuing their teaching careers, they spend significant amounts of time on the business of quilting and find their own quiltmaking impacted by the needs of their businesses. In their own quiltmaking though, they have a relationship with their materials through the act of creating knowledge in physical form which is as influenced by their materials as by their own prior knowledge. The purpose of this study is to understand how quiltmaking teachers learn and develop their specialization in quiltmaking and to understand how these quiltmaking teachers learn to navigate a diffuse network of quilting guilds, shops, and shows in order to pursue their teaching careers. I used actor-network theory, recreation specializations, and communities of practice as theoretical frameworks. I focused on individuals teaching at least one quiltmaking class in the eight counties identified as Southcentral Pennsylvania during 2016. My data included 92 biographies of 65 of teachers and 14 semi-structured interviews, recruited from an initial list of more than 80 identified teachers. Themes from qualitative content analysis of the biographies and constant comparative analysis of the semi-structured interviews fall broadly into three categories: the quiltmaking journey, the business of teaching, and quiltmakers' relationship with their materials. This study is at the intersection of adult education and leisure studies. It contributes to the learning on teaching in nonformal education, specifically in teaching in a non-credentialed leisure environment.
