Our local QS closed in Nov. It has been so sad. Our gathering place is gone and some of us never see one another now. I miss everyone so much and the friendships that we shared. Our shop had been in business 40 years. A few of the ladies got together and found a place where we can get together the 2nd Sat of every month and sew all day and have a pitch in. I am so looking forward to it. Its so easy to take our LQS for granted and think they will always be there. I feel your pain.
