I make many small quilts and love to donate them to an organization called Project Linus. Does anyone else belong to Project Linus or some other quilting group like this?? How do you like quilting in a group or do you prefer to do your own thing?? ;-)

I just donated about a dozen quilts to project linus. I just do them on my own and love that they will find good homes somewhere.

I have never quilted in a group except for when we get together to quilt one quilt, but I have been to "organized" crafting and sewing sessions and believe me, they were anything but organized. Didn't get a thing done. So I guess my answer would be that I would rather go at my own pace.

I also do Quilts for Kids. To answer your other question, I much prefer working by myself.

Mostly I sew alone, but love to go to groups and interact with the other ladies. Staying home it is only my husband.

OK, I married him for better and for worse, but not for ALL of the time. (We have been married 50 years, LOL)

I do charity quilts for All Children's hospital in St. Petersburg, FL, Quilts for Kids, and Miracle Quilts.

I do the LongARM quilting for a Linus group. Sometimes I don't really feel part of the group because I have no choice but to work on my own. Can't take my LA with me.

I sew on my own and donate to a couple of charities. One for kids, one for vets and for the SPCA. I save my trimings ands use them as stuffing on small pet beds.
