WORKSHOP COST
As you already know, QC workshops are a tremendous bargain over
the cost of classes at shows and local quilt shops. Due to additional
QC expenses, the Board has reluctantly raised the price of each
class day by $5 to $40. As always, if there is an issue of financial
need, please contact a member of the QC Board.
Program questions or concerns? Please contact Steffi Aronson Karp,
QC Program.
Each workshop is all day, 9:00-4:00.
Each workshop will be open to non-members of QC one month before
the date of the workshop. Non members are invited to apply on a
wait list basis.
It is the responsibility of participants to check with the Program
Committee regarding QC member waitlists if they cannot attend a
class. Only if the waitlist has been satisfied may the space be
offered to others.
Supply lists will be posted on the QC website when available. (If
you do not have internet access, send a SASE to:
Steffi Aronson Karp, 458 Woodward Street, Waban, MA marked ATTN:
QC Programs.)
