Quilting has brought me out of my shell. I retired 2 yrs. ago. a month later I went to work at LQS just to be around quilters. I dont work in the shop now, but I do teach a Small Projects Class every month and the Moda Club, and I make samples for the shop. I also meet the first Sat of every month with 10 to 12 0f my friends at the library. We bring our machines and sew all day and have a pitch in. We have been doing this for 2 yrs. Life is good!
