You already have the "sugar" for your lemonade. Great attitude.

I'm sorry that another plant is closing the doors, when is this situation going to get any better? Nothing but bad news everyday about our economy. I hope you can turn your quilting hobby into your business. Wishing you and your fellow workers the best.

I hope it works. Local guilds...lol...I think it's just me and my mom. There is a quilt shop that is about an hour away. I'll have to drop in there...oh and go get some honey. We know a guy up there that has bees. I see it as a good thing. I'm just hoping that I can get customers.

I believe they call this "an involuntary career change". Perhaps you will find a new nitch and sell some quilts. You have a great attitude. Everything will be good.
