Does your LQS have a public sewing room?

I've organized "A ladies Day Out" a gathering place for ladies to socialize and create at our local community center. As long as there are no fees or dues charged and anyone can join there is no rent. I only set two rules - no kids (for safety and sanity) and clean up your own mess. so far we have 18 women, quilters, fashion sewing, knitting and crocheting, a jewelry maker, embroidery and cross stitchers. I have heard a local church has a similar gathering.

Our Guild doesn't have anything to do with Quilting Bees, and there seems to be a need for new quilters and sewers to start meeting with a smaller group. Scrapbook stores do this for scrappers. I was thinking of approaching our LQS to find out if they would let others "sew" in their classroom for a fee. Does your LQS let you come in and sew? Just wondering.

A LQS I frequent does have open sew on Wednesdays from 1-3 where customers can come in and sew and even have free consultation with the shop owner. I've gone a couple of times…beneficial for me and a did spend some $$$ in return.

My LQS not only has a sewing room, they also allow our sewing club (not all quilters) to meet there once a month free of charge. She also offers our group discounts on classes. It is certainly a better set up than we had at the local library where we paid $20 per month for the use of their meeting room for 2 hours a month. Located in Lancaster County, PA....almost heaven for quilters.

My LQS has a classroom. She lets people use it. Our local Quilts of Valor people meet there. Recently we started a UFO club and we meet once a month. It is so nice to get to sew with other quilters and get feedback and help and just plain fellowship with each other.
