One day I was in a local quilt store and the gal working the counter asked "How much would you like me to cut?" And I asked her what part of Massachusetts she was from.....we both laughed. Turns out she lives 2 streets away. That was 5 years ago and every week we get together..sometimes her house, sometimes mine...and sew. We've done a couple quilt classes together and found out we lived about 4 towns away from each other up north. the world keeps getting smaller. We have so much in common that conversations go on as if we grew up together. So visit your local shop....meet ladies there.
