QNS - I wish I had someone to quilt with! I have only one other person I know that quilts, but we live some distance apart. She is part of my RV group, so we talk quilting sometimes at the campouts. That is why I enjoy the quilt-a-longs here on the board and the friendships I have made on this thread! We have only a small fabric/curio shop here in my town, the one North of us is closing at the end of the year, and I never really enjoyed her shop. The other two closest quilt shops were to the South of us and the people were not very friendly. I really miss the one we had here in town that closed about five years ago. She had great classes, and everyone was so friendly.
