Everybody from my guild donates Minies to the quilt show that is every other year. At the last day of the show all Minies are auctioned and the procidings go to the guild, the treasurer says this is where the big money comes in to inite teachers. Also there is a quiltique were people donate anything they want. All procidings again go to the guilds.
Clases given by invited teachers cost $45. If the teacher is a guild member, the fee is $15.
