I have belonged to a lot of quilting groups over the years. Believe me the ideas will come when the group gets to sewing and talking. Suggest that you tube sewing/quilting videos be watched. So many ideas on youtube. One group made items for a sale table at the local craft fair. We made enough to pay for gas and lunch for a day trip to a big fabric shop. A church sewing group can make quilts for the church nursery or for daycare if the church has one. Foster care kids love quilts and big roomy bags to carry their belongings. The ideas are endless. Some groups met and sewed what they wanted to sew for personal use. The group will find their purpose if it's giving or just being at peace together for a day.
