If a quilter can't afford to buy fabrics, he/she uses scraps.
If you can't afford a retreat, gather some friends, some covered dishes and have a quilting bee. Pick a topic and learn something new together--you don't have to have an expert. Have fun.
I'll bet there are church camps in your area that would love to have a group during the off season. Get your friends together and check around!
