I am so sorry about the loss of your sister. I have never been a loner and quilting hasn't changed that. One day a friend from church asked if I would teach her to quilt. I said sure, bring your machine to my house and I will teach you. Next day she called again and said she had mentioned it to so-and-so and would I teach her, too. I said fine, she can bring her machine, too. A few days later I got an email saying there were 15 who wanted lessons, then 20, then an announcement was made at church (without consulting me) that there would be a quilt class for the 25+ women who had expressed interest! So that's how I began to teach twice a month at the church (I don't have enough outlets in my house). Guess who has yet to attend a class?
