Hi again from Colorado,

Here I am coming out from lurking, wishing all you lone quilters were here.

We have to greatest group of ladies that meet twice a month to sew and quilt together. We're a charity group, give most of our snuggle quilts to Colorado fire depts. The fire fighters give them to kids they see on their emergency runs. We've also started giving twin-sized quilts to a battered women's shelter locally so there's a lotta quiltin' going on here.

There are about 45 of us that participate in the Sew Days fairly often but we can also sew/quilt at home by ourselves, then bring the finished product in for 'show n tell' before they goes into the donation pile.

We've become really close friends now, that go on road trips and day trips and retreats together. It's wonderful having buddies that enjoy the same thing you do. Wish I could get you all here to meet them!

Dusty
