My LQS "Crafty Cats" is the best. We have a sit and sew on Fridays.It varies as to how many show up it can be from two to 12 . We sometimes have pot luck for lunch or go out to eat. There is no charge, we help each other and the wonderful owner will help us. We do BOM , work on what ever we are working on at home, for the past month we had a contest , we all decorated our folding chairs with a fabric cover and any thing to do with quilting and or Cats (Crafty Cats) We do have a kitty for papergoods, coffee, ect. Its great for someone like me retired with retired mate and no close neighbors I need a girls day with girlstalk
