Doreen returned to the USA after spending some time with us. She is originally from Ireland and emigrated to New York with her family when she was 12. She has no close relatives in New York and came to the UK to visit her Irish relatives who now live in the Stratford area and contemplate moving here. We thoroughly enjoyed her company and this is what she emailed us when she arrived home:
I loved meeting all of you. You made me feel so welcome! You will see me again!
Our group is more informal than yours, born via covid. We used to meet at a quilting shop (City Quilter) that closed soon before covid when the owners retired (after running it for 25 years). So now we meet once a month at a sewing shop. We are, very informally called the Crazy Friday Night Gang. (This originated back at the City Quilter when there used to be a crazy-quilting class.) We hope, as covid evaporates more, that we can meet more frequently. We do not (as yet, anyway) have a website. But I'm passing the photo on to my gang, and will take a photo to send you at our next meeting. I'm so impressed that your two groups are meeting so often. Those gatherings, and the camaraderie added significantly to my SUA adventure.
We will stay in touch!
Take care!
