We have two groups through the local extension office. One meets at night and from what I have heard is more meeting oriented, they do not sew at their meetings, but they do work on projects. The other, the day group, meets from 10:00 to 4:00 on the third Friday, we sew, we talk, we help each other, we laugh alot, and WE SHARE. Oh, and we go on road trips. Just this past week we took the extension office van and drove to two shops, one LQS, and one that is primarily fabric. We also have UFO Days scheduled on the other Fridays. Of course, attendance is optional. I have never enjoyed a group so much. Since most of use shop at the same places and usually together, we frequently purhcase the same fabrics, we always share the extra piece that is needed. We are going to a quilt show, this coming Saturday and will have lunch and go to Hobby Lobby.
With all this, we ACTUALLY do finish numerous quilts and there is a little of each of us in every finished quilts. It is a fun group and we treat newbies like old friends. We have members from seveal surrounding counties. We are fortunate to have one of the best FCS Agents who joins us as often as her job permits.
