Some quilter friends of mine got together going on11 years ago. We started with 4. At first we took turns meeting in each others homes. Later as we gained members we needed a larger place to meet. We now meet in a quilting house built by a members family. Yes her children helped a lot. We present new patterns, give advice how to handle a problem, eat a sack lunch, or bring special things to share. We pray for whoever needs it. We teach new people to quilt. Also we discuss new methods.It is a great circle of friends. We all speak oflooking for a pattern. Some have computers and search. Others share our quilt books. Our main thing is making quilts for fire families. We also hand quilt for each of the members,taking turns. Very educational.. Marvel
