My mother passed and she had been collecting some of my scraps cutting them into grandmothers fan. So when I retired and downsized and moved a new neighbor saw my CWquilt and invited me to join a small group. I think having new friends, talking quilts and gosipping once a week has brought the bug out again. I think when you find a friend with a sewing interest you will feel more comfortable. What about inviting some neighbors over to sew or mend or alter or create holiday stuff. Make the cookies and coffee just add people.
