Default looking for a beginners quilting classes in Spokane Washington

I want to send my sister to a beginner's quilting classes like adult education , I am a senior and so is she.
Her location is in Spokane Washington. She has a good sewing machine but needs some more equipment.
She needs the education. Thanks.

Hi Big Butte
Can you tell us a bit more about your sister's experience with quilting?
I'm wondering if you want her to get all the basics:
Supplies needed
Terminology
Cutting
etc
She might be better served to learn a lot online if she has access to youtube and online classes. The variety of things she can learn that way is pretty limitless. Some instructors very, very good, others not so much.

Spokane is pretty large. Which part of town is she in?
Way east of town (Spokane Valley) is a quilt shop that offers good beginner classes:

There are several others... one way North, one way South, and at least one that is sort of centrally located. They all have some classes to offer at varying degrees of helpfulness for a beginner.
And they all want to sell supplies and fabric of course, while you're there learning.
What is her level of interest in learning?

This is a link to beginner learning that may be helpful?

I asked my quilting friend who lives in Spokane. (Which, for you non-PNWers, is pronounced "Spo-CAN" not spo-cane 😁 )
She recommended Quilting Bee. Hope this helps.
