My FAVORITE LQS went out of business two months ago and I am soooo sad about it. I had taken a Twisted Bargello class at her store years ago and never completed it. I went back two years ago to see if she were offering another class and she said, "Oh come on down and I'll show you how to do it." That was the beginning of a WONDERFUL friendship. I quilted there rather than at home because another woman came almost everyday and, while I couldn't go everyday because I still work, when I could get there the three of us just quilted and visited. It was wonderful. We'd order lunch at the Bento Box a few doors down and after eating, would return to quilting. Can't do that at Joanne's!
