I live south of Albuquerque and shop at the local stores. I've heard a couple of the shops are like that so I think I can guess where she took the class. Ask her not to give up and if she wants to take more classes to try Southwest Decoratives and Kokopelli Quilting. Here is a .pdf of their newsletter and it has the class listings. This is one shop that I have always found excellent customer service, pleasant staff, and the teachers are very patient and encouraging. Not to mention the fabric is amazing.
