My really good friend and I formed our own group, and had the best time after that. Now because of a 12 hour rotating schedule, guilds are too difficult to remember to attend. This is now my "guild".
I could live the rest of my life, never hearing the phrase "Roberts Rules of Order", and die a happy woman. That phrase has become my exit line. I want to share quilting and friendship, not learn to live with new rules. The world has enough rules for me to follow, without those words. I LOVE this board, and thank God for leading me here. YOU are all part of my 'quilting bee'. Thank you.
