it is awesome to see how many of us are lucky enough to have these groups.
since retiring 4 yrs ago three of us have been getting together to quilt. we worked together for a long time and only found out when our office was closing that we all quilted. it has been fantastic to work on our own projects every fri night. we potluck dinner, then start sewing and laughing, learning from each other, supporting each other. nothing better.
recently a fourth friend has joined us. she did not think she would quilt, was just going to chat and maybe crochet. well, she found out how wrong she was and has just finished her first quilt. the bug has gotten her.
so, if you think you would like a group, get out there and find one. you'd be surprised who is a quilter if you ask around. everybody knows someone who quilts, don't they.
