I felt the same way when I signed up for a Kaye England retreat for this past September. The only person I knew was the owner of the shop sponsoring it. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I met lots of wonderful ladies, everyone shared ideas and gave encouragement. It was fun! I've run into one of the ones who sat closest beside me at a couple of the quilt stores since then and we always have a nice visit. I will definitely be willing to do it again. I say "Go for it!"
