We have a group who meet weekly for 10 months of the year....no summers.
We pay a small dues which we donate to the church where we meet in their cafeteria...with big tables for sandwiching the quilts.
We all brown bag it and enjoy lunch before beginning our sewing.
There have been a few squabbles but we try to overlook and ignore them.....and it's now about 8 years that we have been meeting.
We do have some who come and go but that's up to them.
It's their loss as we do enjoy ourselves and we do achieve some projects for charity other than finishing up some of our own.
