Our Piecemakers church group also sews at home and we are now meeting only about once every three months, but keep in contact through email, etc. We also discovered that most of our time together was spent setting up and packing away our projects and machines.

We take either our projects or pics to the meetings; however our coordinator collects finished quilts at church and delivers them to the recipients. We have made 100+ quilts for an orphanage in Kenya and lap quilts for nursing homes. A crisis pregnancy center and children in foster care are our current projects.
