I live in Surprise AZ in the NW Phoenix metro area. You would think I could find a group but I haven't found one yet. The guild that I know about just has too many members (I do not like crowds when I go by myself)plus it is a bit far to drive for me. But I will not give up because when I had groups in other areas we lived in it was great. Some we worked on our own and some it was joint projects. I miss the sharing of friendship.

5 of us meet once a fortnight in each others homes. We meet from 7pm untill 10p.m. At 8pm we have tea and cakes. We work on Project Linus quilts and on our own quilts. We also knit and talk a lot. We put £1 a week into a kitty and twice a year we go out for a meal.

I get together with my sister, her DIL, & another young lady. We meet 2 times, 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month. What we do is pick a quilt pattern and we each choose the materials we want to use. We try to stay on the same page so that everyones project is basically finished at the same time. Last year I believe we finished about 5 quilts each. At the beginning we did brunch but that just got in the way of our projects. The group, all except for me had never quilted before. What is nice is the group survived its first year and we are meeting again this year. I hope this gave you some idea as to what you can do in a group.

Haven't met anyone here that I talk to on a personal level but there are 8 of us that have a retreat 4 times a year and if there's a cancellation at the lodge we do more. We also meet once a month on a Sat. at another place and sew all day. We sometimes have lunch, not necessarily all of us, sometimes we go on a shophop. We are always doing something. We moved to where we are now from another place we had lived for 19 years. City to the country. I have never had so many friends until I started quilting about 6 years ago. I love it.

We have a group of cousins, sister in laws and sisters and a couple of friends that have been getting together for about 15 years once a week, we go to a different persons house every week, over the years we have gone to Paducah, had Christmas parties, birthday parties, quilted, had garage salesl, gone to movies, raised money for different causes. It is such a good feeling to have so many sisters in quilting. We call it Tuesday Nite Stitch N Bitch
