Quilters are the best!! I have travelled all over the country and into Canada.... talk about something in common... quilting is a door opener for any conversation... even they do not speak English!! (went to Mexico) found quilters.... LOL!! Enjoy the time spent and absorb as much as you can from these women... (and men) who may be older but are still learning like you....
Let us know how it goes..
big hugs
