Dear Ladies,
Thank you so much for your encouraging words. They have a ring of testimonial authenticity that I am looking to hear or read. I know one of my problem has been not having success in finding like minded people. Since I don't have the opportunity to go out much or for long periods of time, my chances have rather been slim. Through my therapy sessions from dealing with the post partum depression, I never had trouble finding friends but it turned out I was attracting the kind of friends that would use me to help make them feel good. Since I had learned to recognize when a friendship starts to head that way there are not that many choices anymore. The area I had moved to are not very friendly. I am in my late thirties with four young children. Most of the people around me are retired, rich, or grown children. They are not too kind with mess and chaos associate with having multiple boys.
How do I go about meeting the people in my neighborhood to see about getting the quilters together? I always worry about doing that. Getting to really know the neighbors. What if there is an argument? Now there is war in the neighborhood or am I being too paranoid? I know how some quilters can be a bit steadfast about how things should be done and that is that. I always wanted to be in those old fashioned quilting bees that I read so often about in books.
