Have never heard of any around here at all. I swear I am the only person in St. Paul that quilts. No quilting get togethers, no nothing - sad isn't it???? Nothing even at churches around here. As far as that goes, think on this one - whatever happened to coffee parties, impromptu, after hanging clothes out on the line - grab some cookies, or coffee cake and sit around at a picnic table, enjoy the morning, take a break for an hour and visit!
