OK, I asked this question at my Quilt University discussion forum (class is
on teaching quilting classes), but I didn't like the tone of the responses.
I know this group much better, so I know how to judge your responses better.

Here's the thing. After my (highly successful) book club meeting, several of
the neighborhood women suggested a quilting group. Since some of the women
are complete beginners, they may need some help getting started. I thought
the group would be a good place for this to happen. I am happy to help in
any way I can, including teaching somebody how to make a quilt. However, my
QU class is all "don't be taken advantage of" and "you'd better charge money
for that" and that sort of thing.

I would like to start a quilting group around here. I'm interested in a
group that meets at least once a month, does show and tell, perhaps offers
opportunities for creating group or individual charity quilts, and does like
a secret santa kind of thing at Christmas. People could bring something to
work on, or not, as they wish. I want a casual group, where kids can tag
along if childcare is unavailable for members.

Thoughts? Advise?
