I read about a group that would meet one evening every couple of weeks, usually a Friday. No dinner but they did take turns with a dessert of some sort.. the hostess would have it at her house each time but not weekly.
Weekly would be too much for me even if I was going to someone else's. The gal that played hostess had a large table and everyone brought their machine and they work on their own projects.. sounded like they enjoyed the group and the evening..
