A few years ago a lady at our church started a quilt group to make quilts for our graduating seniors. She was told there were only 4 or 5. The first year we made 9 and this year we are making somewhere around 16. We meet every week and used to do other things on other weeks. But since we are a small group we are working on them every week. There are only about 6 that come regularly. We have started a once a month on Sat. At the church( we normally meet at the leader's house) for the ladies that would like to help but can't come during the week. It was a great success. Currently we are making reversible blocks that are QAYG and scrappy because we work with donated fabric and no one has a LA.
We have been on a couple of quilt retreats and shop hops and these ladies are becoming very good friends to me. Some I knew before and others not. I love them all and we have the best time together. I encourage any quilter to have a small group to sew with- we learn from each other too.
