murieluk, there are a lot of people in the US that have no quilters near to ask questions. So don't feel shy about adopting someone, regardless of where they are located. You could look at the list and find someone asking for the talents/skills you have, and volunteer. Or you could list specific skills you would be willing to teach, and let a newbie ask you.
