All really good suggestions. In our church quilt group we don't have a teacher, rather we have two coordinators. They don't stand in front and teach, they and many others of us teach one on one. We started with some lap quilt tops that we learned to put together and tie. We also make bears that we have some of the ladies that do not care to sew (but enjoy the fellowship)can stuff. As someone discovers a new block etc. they teach to whoever wants to learn. The numbers of items that we donate each month is really great. We meet every other Tuesday morning from 9 to 11:30 or so. You'll do great because you have this board to back you up.
