Well Hello from Elrose Saskatchewan...I hear what you are saying about your friends not having the quilting bug...I live far far away from anyone who quilts or even sews...I have one lady about 22minutes from me but thats about it....maybe sometime when I am in Saskatoon we could meet for coffee...I'm a big Tim Hortons fan :D . Relax, enjoy and most of all have fun...This group is my quilting family for sure....
