I belong to a bee group in Florida (Oh how I miss them!) - there are 7 of us who meet weekly at one member's house (she has a dedicated building for quilting with her longarm, huge cutting table her hubby made, and a table large enough for all of us to sit and sew at) every week where we sew, go out to lunch and return to sew again. Different political and religious view points, different backgrounds, levels of education, bound together in the friendship of quilting. No arguments or fighting, always willing to lend a hand in a quilting project (or anything else, for that matter), never a catty remark about another member, just a wonderful, deep friendship with other women who share the same love of quilting. They are the sisters of my heart.
