I am so sorry that u had such a negative experience, I wish you lived by me I love younger people they are so fun and make me feel young. I spend more time with my daughters and they friends and family than with my own friends. Though I am only 58 ! Lol. I love this board! I have been sewing since probably I was 9 but only started quilting this past June. You probably could teach me a lot. Hope things improve!
