I joined a knitting group at my local library about 4 years ago. Sometimes I would take quilts to finish the binding by hand. Some of the members expressed an interest in learning to quilt so we asked the library if we could have a room one evening a month. We meet for a few months and due to cuts were unable to use the library but now we meet at our homes everyone takes a turn but they don't have to. We just tell people about it and if they want to join they are welcome. So just try asking people to join you I think you will be surprised by the positive responses. Good luck.
