Millie - to be honest I would say that the first couple of hours or so, is purely checking out what everyone has achieved in the last week, ooohhhh and ahhhhhhing and complimenting everyones work!!

We have a very varied ability in the group, some brand new members who have never done any patchwork or quilting before, to some very talented patchworkers and we all just get stuck in helping each other....we have knittings and dressmakers...who are getting tempted to quilt, it just rubs off on each other!!

We are planning our own show for October if we can get over a couple of hurdles with the local town hall, so that is going to be exciting for us!!
