I have been quilting for many years, but I still sign up for classes. Some are for complicated patterns, but most are for the talking and friendship. My favorite shop offers a discount for the supplies for the class and the prices for the classes aren't too much. Dinner and a movie costs more that a class. If it is a quilt that looks like fun, I sign up. One thing I miss is the class pass. I used to take a lot more classes when the class pass is offered.
