Often when I have the opportunity to spend a day with DD, we will do some sewing together, and I've worked on quilts with her. It's so much fun! I've also worked a bit with my other DD, but it takes her so long to get going!

I have a friend that I've spent weekends with to make a quilt for her. She's not a quilter, but has done a lot of sewing. We've had some wonderful weekends working on the quilt. I do the cutting and she sews the pieces together. I'm now in the process of quilting it for her. I've done some machine quilting on it and am finishing up with some hand quilting.

I have another friend who has mentioned having a weekend retreat with a few of our quilting friends, but that hasn't happened yet.

There's a group at church that gets together to tie quilts for Lutheran World Relief. I help out when I'm able to go. I do the piecing of the LWR quilts at home and sometimes take a tied one to put binding on.
