The first class I went to was a memory quilt class my son had just passed away and I wanted to make a memory quilt for my daughter-in-law. The first class all the teacher did was talk about nothing really not the quilts. I made friends with one lady there and I went to her home one night for a couple of hours and learned more from her in 2 hours than I did at all three classes. my class cost $45.00 and $85.00 for a kit wich was the backing, batting and the sashing and binding. when I left the first class my bill came to $250.00. I have recieved more information here on this sight than at any class I will take. So from now on I will just do my own thing by trial and error. by the way I have just finished my third memory quilt in 4 months time.I know it isn't the best but I think they are beautiful. Thanks for letting me vent.
