My friend is the one who taught me to quilt. We try to get together once a week to work on whatever projects we each have going at the time. She has also taught another friend to quilt. That friend crochets berevement outfits. That led us to making things for one of the local hospital NICU for the babies. So we have several different directions we can go when we get together to sew/quilt. We love shopping at our local qs together. We are planning a trip to Houston in Oct. for the International quilt show there. 2 of us have been there twice before,but for one it will be her first time.
