Welcome from Raymore, MO. I'm a member of Raymore Quilt Guild, and also a separate group, Stitch 'n Time Gals. The smaller group meets every Monday at Hancock's in Belton. Sometimes we work on charity quilts, or take a day field trip. Often we work on embroidery projects. Sit around, talk and have coffee. Go to lunch at HyVee, visit some more, and then start to leave for home or errands. Several return to HyVee for another 1 or 2 hours before heading home. We've trained husbands and family NOT to schedule appts. on OUR day!!! Took nearly a year to get them to accept the concept, but we finally succeeded.
We are meeting today to sub-cut sewn strips for a bargello. 10 of us are doing the same project in a fabulous variety of colorways. We all enjoy this group thoroughly.
Glad to have you joining the board. Have you considered making a small quilt first and using it as a wall hanging? The completion of a project is a real reward.
Welcome to quilting!!
