If you need a friend, pick a quilter.Three years ago,I was on holidays in Cuba with another friend. She was tutoring me with Hardanger every morning near the pool. People were stopping by to have a look to our work. Since we are *older ladies* a couple would come every morning to say Hello. A couple of days before we left the woman said that she wished to make a quilt one day. My girlfriend said that I could teach her. She said that she would be ready to start in a couple of months. We traded phone numbers, I never thought of a follow up . How often people that you meet on holidays contact you after. She phoned me two months after and since , every Monday she comes to my house and after teaching her now, we quilt together. We are both bilingual French for chatting and English for quilting. I am looking forward to October when we will resume our get-together!
