Janet, I love this idea of making quilts for people who are ill and passing on loving thoughts and prayers. I also smiled at your UFO idea - I think we all have some of those unfinished projects lying around which could use some love and some good company to get us working on them. Maybe you should start your group now rather than wait. There's no time like the present! Melissa, I agree it’s good to meet with people of diverse backgrounds.

I'm going to call it UFO (Unfinished Object) Sightings. You have to bring a project (anything - cross-stitch, crochet, knitting, scrapbook, whatever) you started ages ago and didn't finish because something else came up (I have several cross-stitch projects which I keep setting aside to make a new baby bib or something). One of the local churches has a "prayers and squares" group which makes quilt for ill folks and the congregation prays over them before giving them to the recipient. They meet at the museum on Wednesdays. There are usually 5-6 participants, and they're amazingly fast. Interestingly enough, I’ve considered starting a group like this when both kids are in school.

Whether they were at a store or someone's house, it was nice to get out and chat with other people with similar interests but diverse backgrounds.
