We are really fortunate here in Oklahoma City. We have some great people in for our Okla. quilt show in Feb. and the fee is not that much. Have had Marti Michelle, Eleanor Burns and several others. Also our Guild has had Pat Speth who wrote Nickel Quilts. Just had Ami Simms. They always have an all day class at a very nominal fee. Like 25 to 30 dollars, then they speak at the meetings that night.
