Bonjour from another Cajun who lives in the Virginia woods these days. I am lucky enough to have eight friends who love to quilt too. We get together once a month, bring our sandwiches, and quilt or sew together. There are no set rules, just bring some handwork, if you want to. Sometimes we just gossip and discuss any and everything. But we also split into groups of two or three to learn a new technique which is what we did with the One Block Wonder design, and the Tessellations design. Then we teach the others if they are interested. One of our younger members calls us "the Has-Beens." I am so lucky to have such a supportive circle of friends. And we are as different as one could imagine. :D
