What workshops/classes are avabilable for the 2011 Paducah Quilt Show - where do I go to find them on the internet?
What happens at the end of March, is there a grand switch of open classes? This is my first time going, I have a list of classed that are on the waiting list, I was unable to reply to lauradavis@ags.com as it brought up the wrong server. Was afraid to sign up for open classes if there is a chance for the ones that have a waiting list. If there is enough would a second class happen? 6502,7105,8514,9202, 8505, 7503, 3504,7514,8503,8507. My home phone is 517 589 9758. I will love to talk to you about these classes or just what is left open.
A bit surprised it seems to simple and yet uesufl.
