Every two weeks at least two other quilters, sometimes three, and I get together to quilt - on whatever projects we want to... it's so much fun. Do any of you do this? Today I worked on some more bags to sell.

YES of course. Love to sew with my quilt buddies.

I love to do that too. It's really energizing, and I get so much done!
We recently got a few together here in our homes for casual sewing evenings, for different sorts of handwork, not all sewing nor quilting.
But somehow some of the gals who were also quilt quild members moved the group towards being a "bee" under the local quild.
Suddenly there were rules and structure, that some of the ladies did not care for, even changed the meeting place to a local community center, so the group broke up.
I do think after a while we might try again. I hope so.

Believe it or not I do not know one single soul that sews, much less quilts! Well at least that live around me, I know of ONE that lives 400 miles away!
Thank goodness my kids can sleep through anything, cause I would be "alone" without the radio blaring over the sewing machine! lol

Yep, not that often but we try to spend one Sunday a month together sewing. I am also hosting a retreat for us at a time share for a 4 day weekend in October. That will be a great time!

we have up to 5 quilters that meet in a church room. Before I joined they were with a large group. but they did not like the cattiness and better than thou personalities. They never felt wanted there. I was the last to join our group. my neighbor and i go together and our husbands go out for breakfast on that day. We really have a great time and a whole lot of laughs.

My only quilt buddy (DGD) lives with me. I love to help her sew.

My mother-in-law does some sewing and has a sewing group at the church - but I've never been. I'm one of those socially challenged folks that would probably feel very awkward in a group sewing thing. But I know if I could get over that awkwardness, I'd love it!

My 2 sisters, my mom, and myself get together every Thursday night for supper and quilting. I must say we do have a lot of fun!

Wish I had someone to sew or quilt with!
when I tell people I quilt I get blank stares!
