I love the resilience of women!
In any group I visit, if I stop to think about it, there is a wealth of knowledge, an ocean of compassion, a force of determination, and a mountain of friendship and open arms ready to welcome in visitors and members alike. This is what quilters do. This is who quilters are.
Now, I know someone might say that “well, MY group isn’t like that…..” and my answer to you? If you find that your group is lacking in any area – BE the thing that is missing yourself! BE the one that welcomes, that encourages, that helps, that shares, that smiles. It all starts with ONE person. YOU.
In the four years that have passed since I last visited with the Pride of the Prairie quilters of Plainfield, Illinois there have been many changes. There has been loss of loved ones, end of employment, illness, cancer scares, BIG life changes for many. And I love it when I walk into a room and catch little bits of caring conversation and hugs, laughter, conversation and connection.
BELONGING. And I’m so happy that this group has made me feel part of them. I can’t wait to come back at some point. We had an amazing 3 days of workshops, but more than that, we built friendships.
