Hello, My name is Coco and I'm from Southern Colorado. I consider myself a beginner because I am trying to get motivated to doing something positive again. In 1999 & 2000 I started to learn to quilt and was with a yahoo group called Quiltswappers. I met so many wonderful quilters and had a tremendous amount of fun with all of them. As time went by life got in the way and I focused on other things. In 2006 my childhood best friend became terminally ill with lung cancer. She has 2 adult children who live out of state and I have no children so I let her move in with me so she wouldn't be alone. She passed away Jan. 9th of this year and I have been grieving since. I need to try to get focused on something positive so I thought now with so much time on my hands I should learn to quilt again. Fortunately I did save my cutting mat and fabric cutter but not much else. This is the first Christmas in my life that I am not looking forward to. I don't know if this is allowed but I was wondering for those that send out cards each year if you might include me? I could sure use a little motivation and I remember how wonderful all the quilters were when I became a member of Quiltswappers years ago. And last I have a fur baby chihuahua named Isabella who was given to me for company in August and she never leaves my side. I'm sure she will soon become a critic of my quilts. Thanks so much for listening to me and I look forward to lots of new friends. Sincerely, Coco Vigil
