I also belong to two mini-group quilting Bees...one has 6 members and one 7. We rotate homes ( meeting places) by alphabetical last names and we started about a two years ago to brown bag our lunches with the hostess furnishing coffee, drinks and dessert. It has worked out very well for us and we all get along very well. Most of the time we work on our own "stuff", but occasionally will do things for charity or make sampler quilts by exchanging blocks.
