For many years the local quilt shop had a morning set aside where people could bring in the projects they were working on. No food or beverages were provided, however, there was a quilt teacher available to answer any questions or to help with any problems. I thought it was very reasonable, I was able to work on projects, enjoy the company of other quilters and learn from them as well. Cherylesa makes a valid point as you are using the facilities, lights, electricity, bathroom facilities, etc. I think the fee is reasonable.
