Used to live in area that I would take a class after talking with my quilt buddys (4 of us used to quilt & shop together). We would go over a list of classes the same with quilt books, etc.. & each talk about what we wanted to learn, etc.. and who had time for what classes. Then we would each pick from the list that we all had & each one of us would take 1 class and teach the others how to do that project. We saved a lot of time and money (all of us where single working mothers at the time - so money and time was very tight). So for a $60.00 class if only one class was being taken the we each paid $15.00, but if we all took a class we each paid for our own class and we still had a good deal.
