Three friends and I used to go on road trips to get fabric. We decided to get together once a month and I volunteered for the first meeting and made a simple lunch. Since I had room we added two more which is where the problem began. We had originally agreed to stay small, to share hosting and to do sack lunches except for special occasions. All of a sudden one of the new gals invited a friend without asking first. Then no one else wanted to host and lunch was expected. We stopped for the summer and never resumed. All that to say be sure of the ground rules before you get started. What started as a wonderful time ended as nightmare which still hurts me.
