One of my guild friends moved into assisted living last year. Her health failed drastically after the move. Early this summer, she chose to invite her guild friends (she belonged to 2 guilds) for an afternoon of pick and choose with a light lunch afterwards at her home. What a fun time! (If you took a tote you were instructed to finish the project in it! Last month one of our members brought in two tops from her fabrics!) My friend has since passed away, but we all have a little bit of her in our stash. This was a win-win situation as she was a widow with no children. Two of her very close friends (younger) assisted in the party. There was no delivering of goods to goodwill or church sewing circle...when the afternoon was over, the items had been methodically dispersed with just a few odds and ends to see to.
