Thats why I stay home....Classes are way to expensive. I won't join cause people would think I was getting something free. I would like to be with other quilters but will not explain my finances. I rely on the computer for my free lessons. I go to the quilt show and they want everyone to join...but I don't think I would be welcome very long...I'm poor folks....your loss :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
