I think the board has such a wide variety of people who dont only quilt and they like to think of other board members as friends Iam sure I do and as friends they like to share other things in their lives.We are all happy when we make something and other people encourage and praise us for the great work and it is wonderful to get other ideas for different projects I love quilting but I also need a break and try other things the board gives me many ideas of other things I didnt even think of as well as other methods I love all of the stories and hearing the good news in other peoples lives and feel for them in the not so good times it feels good to know that people care and want to share a small part of their life your dont find that alot now
