Ok...silly question, but......

I want to meet other quilters in my area! The town I live near has over 20,000 people and I have yet to meet anyone who quilts! I've hung out at the quilts entered into the county fair, but the only comments I heard around me were, "I wish I could do that!" We don't have a store that sells fabric. There was a really small quilt show last year at our Applefest, but I was out of town! I know they're out there! I've googled quilt groups and gilds, but was never able to find any that were closer then say 30 miles. Should I take out an ad in the local paper "lonely quilter wants a quilt friend?" lol...I know I know....this group is almost the same thing! Love it in here!

Do you have any friends that do any kind of crafts ?
I am not an outgoing person ( well not the type to join a group)m but I have a friend that loves to crochet. We started getting together and crochet ( I crochet also) then slowly I started doing my quilting when she was around. Now she is quilting with me :wink:
Start a girls night and see what happens

You know I have quite a few friends but all the ones near me are not too crafty! I can't think of a single one! No machine repair shop either that I'm aware of. My daughter says she would love to learn one day but with 2 jobs and 3 kids...she would never work on it! Plus she would need a sewing machine and money! lol

I'd call the local senior's center...I know YOU aren't old enough for a place like that, but I can almost guarantee that you find needleworkers of all kinds...and maybe from there find ladies more your age! :)
