I meet with other quilters every Friday at my LQS. My local library also has a group called Quilters and Readers. We meet once a month with show and tell, demonstrations of all kinds, and much more. We usually make two quilts (individually) a year, all of us using the same pattern. The library room is booked for 4 Saturdays a year just to sew. This year we are doing a star block of the month using different techniques and patterns for each center piece.
