I also belong to a small group - eight of us until two weeks when one member died very unexpectedly. It hit all of us very hard as we have become close. We get together once a month and just share projects, ideas, and have a nice visit. One of us usually brings a snack/treat. We also get together usually once or twice a year to have a quilt day where we each work on one of our projects and share a potluck. Sometimes we swap fabric and pick a pattern to make with the swap fabric - it's amazing how different yet similar each project is. We've made donation quilts. We have no business meeting nor do we have dues. It's a very casual get together but one we all enjoy. Go with a group where you can be comfortable. Good luck.
