My LQS does charity quilts for great causes and they supply the material. Everyone comes whatever time you can on the day selected and sits at a machine and makes whatever they want. We also bring a dish to pass, cookies, appetizers, chips, whatever. There is always too much food and too many laughs. We all make the tops and then hand them off to the longarm chicks, and we make many, many quilts in a day. You feel tired and real happy when you leave.
