So glad I read your post! So full of wonderful happiness. I live in a small community of under 300 at this time in my life and there are no quilt shops within 70 miles. Hubby and I are going to be moving back to Oregon (hopefully with in the next month or two) and I am so looking forward to getting involved with some guilds and taking some classes. I am also considering starting a guild myself. But will have to wait and see once we are settled. Thanks for sharing your great experiences and encouraging to look at the bright and not the dull side.
