[quote=bev195000]I live in the UK and i simply love my quilting i did visit NY USA quiet a lot and during this period some one taught me the basic quilting skills and from then on i am quilt mad but over here England people do not seem interesting in quilting ...
Here in the U.S. we used to believe that patchwork quiltmaking was a craft that was created by us. But now we've learned that actually some of the pilgrim ladies brought over handmade quilts when they came. I think you'd find a history of quiltmaking right there where you live. Maybe all the women just aren't as interested in it as you are, but I'll bet you can find a few. Enough to make a tiny quilting bee. Why don't yuou try running a small classified notice in your local newspaper. Even if your paper is a very small press and is only published once a week, try it. You could say something like, "Local lady enjoys learning the art of quiltmaking. Anyone care to join her for pleasant times and shared lessons?" You might be happily surprised. 8-)
