Could the library give you space for a monthly meeting?
I once belonged to a quilters club that met once a month in one...
You could advertise the meetings in the newspaper.
I also have belonged to several different guilds that met in a church on a weekday. Some of the members brought and shared refreshments each month.
One club I once was a member of is still meeting in the cafeteria of the community collge.
You don't need officers at first and every member can bring a project to work on. ...consider making and giving your host a wall quilt to hang up or raffle.
Quilters are different...They usually stick, because it is so enjoyable! jeannie
