Even though some days in some areas of my life I am super confident, like most people I am also very shy & it takes a lot for me to step out & introduce myself to new people.
I was delighted to discover a quilt group at my local community centre & tonight I finally girded my loins & wandered up the road to join in with the local quilt group.
Imagine my delight when from the street I spied a cutting ruler & mat & bags of fabric & obvious quilters.Imagine my crumpled mood when I walked in & was told by one of the women "Oh no, there used to be a group here but they have moved to "blah" (suburb miles from me & I have no car). They are happy to take new members but we are a private group."
Crushed??? Hell yeah!!! Pouting much?? Defo!!!
Sod them. Gonna start my own group now. Big room, sea glimpses, I can make coffees & cook stuff. Anyone wanna join me?
Loving what I do, even if I have to do it alone. Going to eat worms. LOL

Aw! That sucks. Unfriendly bunch of 'we don't want to know them' quilters. Imagine that attitude! I'd have cried, but I am a total wuss like that. You start your own group and make sure you state friend,y people only - no bitches!
ReplyDeleteThere may have been a few tears.
DeleteAt least you made an effort. Now YOU get to be in control , and we know you love that!
ReplyDeleteActually just for something different, I was looking forward to just rocking up & not having to be in charge. LOL
DeleteMiserable old baggage s. their loss not yours. I'll be along for your happy quilting group ASAP. Would there be cakes too, by any chance?
ReplyDeleteI know and they had ugly fabric!! LOL
DeleteWill have to wait till my furniture arrives before I can have a group over. Only have enough chairs for me & one other so far LOL
And they say quilters are friendly....pwhah...that lot certainly weren't. I think you're right to start your own group - you could even advertise on Flickr as I bet there must be nice FQR people in your area. I'd come if I lived a tad nearer!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the problem with imaginary friends, they are so scattered. Never mind, once I have furniture I will make my own group. You are always welcome :)
