There is a local cafe who has a meeting room that people can use for free. Maybe there is something like that around where you are.
I have noticed that quilters usually love to quilt, eat, laugh, and have fun.
just make sure that gossip and put downs are not allowed.
To share with you what type of people quilters are- at class yesturday the instructor told us about a college student who had to survey 100 people. The student decided to survery quilters. Professor said be lucky if you get back 25% of them. The student handed them out and gave them to local quilt shops to aid in getting them to quilters. When the student began to count up the response she had 129 responses(Only 100 questioners went out) Quilters love to share.
Quilters Love to have fun and be aruond quilters.
