In the St. Louis area, there are several groups that quilt at churches. I hand quilt with a group that has been meeting for more years than any current member knows! We quilt on Mondays and Thursdays from 9 til 3. We bring our own sack lunches and the group furnishes coffee. We quilt for others and turn the moneys over to the pastor twice a year. We also do a raffle quilt for a Soup N Salad twice a year. Our ladies are all retired and the two oldest members, 95 and 98 passed this last year. At present, I am the one who makes the quilts for our raffles(since I am the baby), but any member can. Most of the church groups meet only once a week, but since all our ladies are widows, they like the fellowship and being out of the house, so we meet 2 times a week. :P
Hope this is some help.
