Very sorry about your sister HUGS.................
l have always been very content with my own company as l have had a very busy life work related. l couldn't seem to settle down to retirement till l met a quilter who started me off into the quilting world now l am in two groups l have just finished a weekend having a quilt show with my main group which was very tireing but great l have lots of friends who came in to see what l was doing now and made a lot of new ones as l was deminstrating machine embroidery and being a white glove lady which gave me time to chat good luck to those quilters l think quilters are family and easy to talk to. HAPPY QUILTING WHERE EVER YOU ARE IN THE WORLD
