A community college in our area has a quilter's weekend once a year. There are choices of four or five classes or you can do your own. Meals are provided and we are allowed to stay in the dorms (two to a room) but you provide your own bedding. There is a large commons area whree we can work before and after classes if we want. They also invite vendors so there are usually 5 or 6 quilt shops, and sewing machine shops who come and you can purchase kits, yardage, notions, patterns, anything you might need or forgot. They are a fun weekend and usually cost around $100 to $125 for the whole weekend. Starts Friday evening and ends Sunday late morning.A year ago we didn't care for the classes offered so my daughter and I just got together at my house and sewed up a storm. It was surprising how much we got done.
