Lots of good suggestions here; read back through them, and go with it if you feel you (and whoever is interested in sharing the work in this effort) go with it. Gerib and onebyone had excellent ideas. That has worked for me a time or two--I love to give quilting lessons and jump right on the bandwagon when someone says "let's do some quilting lessons".....but everyone is right in saying there will be lots of enthusiasm going into it, but if they haven't spent the time and money to get the supplies, etc. together, they'll be outta there, and you won't have enough ladies left to do a good class. Know what I mean......
