I am still one of the newbies in the great quilting group I joined about 6 months ago. It's a charity quilting group, part of the large Baptist church in my town (I'm out in the country...). There is so much news and quilting info to share that there isn't TIME for gossip or drama. It's all about quilting. Everyone has been friendly and welcoming and I'm so glad to be there. We only meet twice a month and it seems such a long time waiting for those meetings to come around. I love my group.
