Considering that this type of group changes constantly, we are always amazed at how much our slow and simple work adds up in a year’s time. We never pressure anyone in the group. We never insist on specific patterns, only certain qualities we need in these things (easy washing, durability, ends tucked in).

These days, we have two regulars (and I guess we could say “charter” members, here from the start) who meet each Friday morning, plus several absentee-members. The absentee-members are folks who cannot get to regular sessions but who love what they do. They pass along their projects whenever they finish something for those in need. And, again, it all adds up - slow and steady and happily.
