Yes skeat the group I go to started over 25 years ago in a living room and grew so much they had to find a church for their meetings now it is split in to 2 groups a day one and a night one that each one meets once a month
and then there are small groups within the large group and by this I mean an applique group a scrap group etc then we moved over here and a friend ran an add in the paper and now over 100 in that group so all you need to do is contact quilters sounds like you will soon have one going
Good Luck
