Old Lady Club

I've been moving around a bit lately, and we hope to be moving around a lot in the future. Instead of waiting around and waiting for people to befriend me, I've found it more satisfying to include myself in social activities and take any invitations I get. This way I meet people and get to do activities I enjoy.

I found a quilting guild that meets monthly, and since I enjoy quilting, I decided I'd try it out. I knew it would be a bunch of old ladies, but we'd have a common interest tying us together.

I went to the first meeting today. They conducted guild business for the first half hour or so and then took a break. Then a lady did a presentation, teaching everyone how to dye and applique quilt using wool. It was mildly interesting, but too long, and honestly, I'm never going to dye my own wool or even sew using wool.

Then we each got a little packet with a piece to applique and make into a pin cushion.

I already have several pin cushions.

Then the meeting ended with several people doing a show-and-tell of their projects. That part was really cool.

But overall, the old lady club was not for me. It was 2 hours long and pretty boring.

The success of the afternoon was learning of a quilting group that meets at the library every Monday to actually work on quilts. I may join that old lady club.
