Nope quilting is the word! Once we open our mouths & say "quilting" to another quilter, it's like you've been friends forever! I'll never forget when I went to Paducah the first couple times & how friendly everyone was. I always went with a group of other quilters but after I'd gone a couple times I'd decided that it didn't matter if there were others there or not because everyone talks to everyone. We all have the same interests & there it doesn't matter if you're rich, in between, or poor we all talk & have something in common. Unlike here at home, some of the quilters think they are LA TE DAH if you know what I mean but I guess there's always one egg that spoils the dozen! But that's ok, you can always toss that one to the side & make use of the other 11 !!!!
