Last fall I joined the local quilting group which meets in a large hall twice a month. They are quite keen and have a morning session and an afternoon one. You can go for the day or just for part of it. A theme (or two) is selected for the year and everyone works on the same style of quilt. This year the theme is minnatures, so folks are working small. There are about 40 women in the group from several nationalities. Interesting how handwork is a great commonality and leveler of people. French is the language spoken. They all stitch by hand and for the most part the work is exquisite. There are several organized activities during the year, one coming up is to host a quilting day with a neighboring quilt group. I have found it difficult to do much work as my textile materials and tools are still packed. But when the renovation work is finished I will have a textile studio.
