Our group is attended by eight to 10 quilters once a month, scheduled for the same date and time all the time so everyone can remember when we meet.
I like the fact that there are no positions you feel pressured to volunteer for like secretary or treasurer. As mom to a busy high school teenager, I'm already doing plenty of volunteering and don't want to add any more to my plate at this point.
We meet at the home of one of our group members to sew, visit and share. Having four to six hours of girlfriend/quilting time once a month is perfect. It's the simplest of all get-togethers and works for all involved.
