I've been quilting with a wonderful church group for about a year. LOVE the time we spend together. We have two meetings a month in the coordinator's home... the first Tues. night at 6 and the 3rd Saturday morning at 9. Once a quarter we do a big "Quiltathon" on the Saturday, where we work together cutting donated fabric into usable strips and squares, or even learning a pattern and sewing. Our leader is a widow with a big house, and she devotes one room in the house to our group "stash"... fabrics that have been donated to us for charity quilting. We can stop by most any time and "shop the stash".
Our meetings typically cover needs that we will try to meet, and any other news for the group. We take prayer requests and pray together. Then we have "Sew and Tell". Everyone shows their completed quilts, whether they are to be donated or if they are personal quilts, taken home. It's very encouraging and keeps everyone finishing quilts! We share ideas and go on field trips together, to quilt shows or out for "stash enhancement". It's a wonderful group.
We mostly donate to hospitals... cancer treatment centers, transplant patients, children's hospitals. We also donate to women's shelters and crisis pregnancy centers, and to any other need that arises in the community.
