Thank you so much for all your answers. It feels almost like we were all sitting in my living room sipping coffee and chatting. Who says you cannot have friends on line! I make and gift my quilts to family. I am a mom of two who is fairly new to the area and I do not have the benefit of friends and family living close by. They are all in Canada. Time is the most precious commodity and finances are as tight as everybody's in this economy. I will make my friend a nice purse, I have a few go to patterns. I will invite her to my sewing room to see the process and I will take her to my LQS as an observer. I offered to teach her quilting but she was not thrilled. It is just not her cup of tea. Once again, thank you so much for your input. I really appreciate it.
