Sewing/Quilting/crocheting friends are just the best .. I have some in each category and its a blast when we do things together ..
We also have camping, ATVing and many other hobby friends .. so when we have a end of summer BBQ its a blast to see these people all together:sharing stories, laughing and just having a good time... Many of our friends sew/quilt and crochet (even some of the menfolk can do it !LOL)along with our other life hobbies.. so its just plain fun !
