I am very blessed with quilt friends. When I retired from teaching I knew I wouldn't see my school friends much, and it made me a little sad. So I prayed and asked God for friends. A woman I had known for a long time asked if I would like to learn to quilt. She sent me to the LQS. Everyone there was so nice and I made friends. Then I met a woman I had worked with many years ago in the shop. We resumed our friendship. I started going to classes there and met even more wonderful women. Out of all that I now belong to two guilds, one large, one small; I quilt at the LQS one day a week and my church one day a week; have traveled to Paducah and other places with friends. I am SO BLESSED AND THANKFUL. I am also thankful for this board. I enjoy your pictures and threads. Lisa
