I guess mine would have to be my 3 dogs, Misty, noel and Charlie, too. And people here on the board! I dont have ANYONE close by that I know, quilts! I tried getting my Grandma to, but she had a hard time with it, so she doesnt want to do it any more! I thought about joining some group, but as I work in the resturaunt business, you really never know WHAT hours you will have.....so I have the pets. My BF is my vintage sewing machine buddy though, does that count, lol???
