    Hi Patty,
    We are definitely neighbors. I'm in northwest Detroit, Rosedale Park area. Are you familiar with any of the quilt guilds around? I'm part of one that meets in Livonia - GLAAQN. I'm possibly looking for another one to join.

    Welcome from Oklahoma with a Massachusetts accent. So happy you could be here. There is always room for one more quilter.

    I am familiar with the area. I'm at 6-mile and Beech Daly. Howdy neighbor!!! :D I don't know of any quilt guilds -- mostly because they scare me!! :cry: I think I would feel very intimidated and self-conscious about my work. I absolutely love to sew and especially quilt, but I'm certainly not great at it -- yet! Maybe someday I will be. I read many books, watch tutorials and quilting shows (love Fons and Porter!!!), and search the internet. :wink:

    Patty, you don't need to feel intimidated. I'm not very good. I am not a stickler for perfectly lined seams, and the like, on my quilts. I rather enjoy the little imperfections. Says "lovingly handmade" to me. Quilting is the craft of the moment for me. I switch back and forth between many.

    If you are interested in going to a meeting with me, let me know. Our next meeting is the second Saturday in July. There are some fabulous quilters there. I don't happen to be one of them, and I'm just fine with that. The group is, however, very supportive. If you have a question, you will not have to look far for an answer. And lots of great ideas. We usually do a project at each meeting. I'm working on charity quilts for the VA and the Detroit Rescue Mission now. LMK. Hope you can join us some time.

    Thanks Sylvia for the invite!! I just might take you up on it sometime. I'm not sure of my schedule yet for July. In about two weeks from now I will be traveling to southwestern Virginia to visit my mom, North Carolina (Durham) for an educational conference, back to Mom's house in Virginia then to East Tennessee to visit my dad and possibly Kentucky and southern Indiana. I have yet to decide if I will pay an extended visit to my aunt who lives in southeastern Kentucky. She has been wanting me to stay with her for at least one week so we can "talk our heads off" (you have to say that with a really strong southern drawl) and do some quilting together. She has fabric she wants to give me as well as some other goodies. I just hate to pass up this opportunity to visit with her since she is elderly, and one never knows what the future holds. I would feel just terrible if something happened to her, and I didn't stop by for a visit. :cry:

    I'll let you know if and when I can join you. I would love to get involved in the charity quilts! I had a Service Projects class at my old school where my students constructed quilts for babies, the elderly, etc. The last year I had the class my three students constructed 200 quilts -- in one school year!!! They were able to touch so many lives, and I was so proud of them!
