Thanks for all of the great advice. I went to one person today but I didn't have warm and fuzzies. I asked if she had any quilts I could look at - no. Did she have a pattern book - only on the computer. I did sneak a peak at one she just finished and for a random pattern I wasn't impressed.
I have another appointment which I think will be better. She is an award winner, no pets, and belongs to several quilting guilds.
