However, everyone was very friendly. A few minutes later two of the members from my American Sewing Guild came it and pulled up chairs next to mine. Then, a woman that I had chatted with at a fabric store came in and immediately recognized me----I was feeling better and better!!!

The program was on channel quilting which I enjoyed learning about. The show and tell was very inspirational. This guild does a block of the month which was fun the see the completed blocks using the same pattern but different materials. The guild is going on a retreat in October and I am planning to go, too!!!

A great experience that I would encourage others to try??? Yes! :P
