Thanks for the replies ladies. I did post on facebook to my friends to see if anyone was interested in starting a group. So far I have only 3 responses, that would make 4 of us. Maybe enough to start with, I don' know. I am going to keep mentioning it to friends and hopefully sometime early 2014 I will be able to start a small friendly stitching group.
I do think I might also return to the guild, not sure. It would be a totally separate thing I think. And I could go to that for the chance to hear good speakers and keep up with what is going on in our town as far as quilting goes.
