I thought I had made contact with a local quilter too. but it looks like she may have been part of the group at the senior center and didn't like me. No further contact..... sigh.....I guess you can not please everybody. Ilike the ladies there, but I am not an early bird (worked swing shift too long) and they start at 8 am to noon. so I don't get there too often. I am still fairly new to piece qulting and am pretty much self taught and I cannot afford lessons. I have picked up some pointers on the days I get to the center.
