Quezon City:
My name is Melanie and my shorter name is Lani. I live in Quezon City I am a
filipina but am crazy over quilting. I have another friend Jenny who lives in
Makati--we
met thru the net and she is crazy over quilting as well. We have been searching in vain
for a quilt guild and decided to be a three women guild (including her cousin Nancy) .
There aren't any
quilting guilds i know of (perhaps wives of expats--have one but we have not come across
any.)
Ours is an informal group but we love it cause it is the closest to a guild experience we
can have in Manila..LOL.. we try to meet once every 2 months but talk often thru the phone
or e-mail. You can e-mail me at this addie. have a nice day casadei@skyinet.net
