I would simply state, no children allowed, it is an adult function. They can be disruptive and they can be bothersome to others. We do not allow children, the mom's need a break as does everyone else. I view my time at the quilting guild as very special day. It's about the only time I get to go out and socialize and have fun doing what I love and other ladies have said that also. We talk about anything and everything, some may be inappropriate for young ears. For instance one of our ladies has breast cancer, she opened up to us and found out she's not alone and many of us have experienced what she's going through. If there were children there she most likely would not have opened up to us. There are lots of sewing centers that teach child friendly sewing classes, lots of church groups have sewing opportunities for children also. Plus there is 4H, Brownies, Girl Scouts, etc., that would be a great place for a young lady to learn to sew.
