Sign me up, I am on my way! This must be a wonderful place to live. It would be such a blessing to have like centers throughout the country because so many older citizens need companionship that challenges them to continue using their talents. Even if they don't need the quilts for personal use, there are so many charities and needs that could benefit from their diverse talents. So many of the quilters just don't have the funds to purchase the better machines and fabrics, or they can't travel to meet with groups. I would think they would have much richer lives if they could meet with folks who have similar interests.

Yeah!!
I need to speak with my girlfriend. She's a real-estate developer who specializes in small developments that have homes with acreage and people of a like-mind. She's done an "artists" development in VA, a "horsey" development in VT, a "kennel" development in PA, and is now working on a "green and off the grid" development in TX.
I want one for sewers/quilters with a sewing center that all could use.
What a cool profession your girlfriend chose. Actually my mom lives in community near Las Vegas that is kind of like that. The community center has a huge sewing workshop area with all different kinds of machines, cutting tables, and a LA! I just about fainted when I saw it. And all the machines were nice ones, Janomes, Berninas, Husqvernas the whole gammet. When the sewing center is open there are always a few ladies in there using it. They have other workshops too, ceramics, computers, etc.
