The Delight of a Quilting Group

Even though you belong to online quilting and fabric art groups, most quilters enjoy getting together in person with a local group periodically. My daughter Beth finds these bi-weekly Friday gatherings a break in her schedule and a source of inspiration.
They share, they try different techniques, they enjoy refreshments, and they sometimes go on day trips. These are something like the old time quilting bees when women gathered at one another’s homes for quilting and socializing.
Beth often discusses her group’s gatherings in her Meandering Threads blog:
*Check out her December 3, 2007 entry which describes a workshop at Sue’s house where they tried out Shiva paint sticks. Here is just one of the projects Beth did.
*Her Friday, December 14, 2007 post describes their Christmas party.
Tell us about your quilting group and the projects you undertake there.
