I am in a group of just 8 ladies. No dues or jobs just a monthly get together of sharing what we have made, are working on or plan to work on. One may share a new or different idea and we go on a road trip or have a quilt day at one of our homes with a potluck every so often. We meet monthly at one gal's home who has created a chicken barn to a quilting studio. To me it's a perfect setup.
