I don't belong to a group, but a good friend that I have known for years has finally developed an interest in quilting. I invited her over to help her learn how to quilt. We spent one evening just talking about the basics. A week ago she spent the whole day with me, learning how to square fabric, cut, press, and sew a nine patch block together. Yesterday she spent a half day with me learning how to put sashing between the blocks. I have had a great time, enjoying teaching and having company while I work at the longarm. We plan to attend a 2 day retreat late this month and I want her to know as much as she can before the retreat.
