sounds like fun...but I am sure that those meeting will be a lot longer than one hour.........
Our little group use a church hall also......we all are not members of that congregation but all are welcome.
We begin by brown bagging it and have a quickie lunch with chat.....and then we try to get to work..
We have a few ladies a bit more experienced than the others and we have learned a lot from them.
We meet every Thursday around noon and our quilting begins soon after.......we have met a lot of new friends and fellow quilters.....
we do have a few who don't quilt but they are willing to use the ripper and press for the others so that we all give to our charitable projects.
Hope this gives you a few ideas........
