"Bring something to work on..."
I went to a class at the local fabric store last night and, while there, met someone from a local quilt group I have been thinking about checking out. Of course, she said, "Bring something to work on." I've never belonged to a local group, other than in campgrounds where we pretty much set our stuff up and left it in the recreation room from one day to the next...it's where I learned to piece quilts. One reason I have not joined a local group is because it seems like such a task to pack up a machine and everything, haul it somewhere, use it, pack it all up a couple of hours later, and bring it all back. So, what do I bring? I know it sounds like kind of a stupid question. I was thinking that I have a bunch of charm packs and have been thinking about using them to make HSTs for a future quilt (no particular pattern in mind). As you can see, I am not real experienced and have a difficult time going to a group I've never been to before. What would you guys suggest? Thanks!
