Crazy Quilting

In days of old, the sewing circle was more than just a place for women to get together and hone their stitch work. These were social forums where ladies would meet to talk about the pressing issues of the day – both personal and political. The social side of arts and crafts groups is often overlooked as people tend to focus on the educational and productive sides.

Even if sewing in itself doesn’t appeal to you, there are other creative outlets that can get you involved in group activities. Pick up a paper or surf the Internet for crazy quilting sessions. In some cases, instructors will hold workshops at community colleges and neighborhood centers. Crazy quilt embroidery is as creatively fulfilling as it is fun. No two people ever end up with the same finished design.
