Find an neutral place. We meet at my church. Maybe just all bring something to share if you are meeting for the day. And then everyone needs to be responsible for their own cleanup.

I would want a meeting place ans share some of the responsibilities with other. to much for one person every time

I agree with most of these ladies, maybe rotating in the homes would be good. But as far as the lady getting drunk I don't know if I could have her back. She should have more respect for the rest of you not to do this. Because if she does it once she most likely do it again. This should be a clean, and fun environment for you to work.

Maybe set up some ground rules. Also, is there a bad apple in your group? Maybe start a new group w/out the bad apple.

You will need guidelines...at the first meeting these need to be discussed before any sewing starts...if someone doesn't like the new rules....well........... A sign up sheet for lunches...or order lunches delivered...for a fee. A sign up sheet for clean up each week would be nice. As to the ones that only show up for there own quilts to be quilted...charge them frame time. Sorry if this sounds a bit harse, but some of these friends are looking for freebees... |
I think this is a good idea, too. Maybe the church would be willing to let you sue a room and you give them a donation once a month for allowing you to meet there.

I'm not sure a rotating location would help if there's a frame to be carted around. I would make a contract or just a paper with the rules in them so they all know what is expected. I would also assign "clean-up" on a rotating basis so everyone can help you clean up the mess left behind and also set up a monthly schedule on who provides what for meals. That will weed out those who really don't want to pull their weight from those who truly enjoy the company. Oh, and no alcohol allowed ;-)

I belong to the church group of quilters. We meet twice
a month at the church. We meet from 6:30 to 8:30pm. Everyone has already eaten so we don't bring in food. You can bring your own coffe, soft drink etc. We work together on making quilts for the missionaries. You can also bring your own project to work on. If you want to start your group again I would set rules and have it some place other than your homes. Betty Lee |
Dang, sounds like one of my family reunions. I would definitely set up on a rotating home basis. I am sure everyone enjoys it when they can just walk in and have a good time. You need that pleasure every now and again. If you dread the get togethers it takes all the fun out of it. Perhaps not every week, but once every two weeks or once a month.

I belong to ASG and we meet monthly at a church. Sometimes we stay past lunch time so we bring a lunch. We all set up and tear down. No one person has to do all the work. I've been doing this for about 20 years and it work well for us. We learn different things from each other and enjoy the sewing fellowship. We take up dues each month and at the end of the year we use it as a donation to a needy family.
