Yes, I have no one close that quilts. My sister is my quilting buddy, but she lives in NY and I live in NM, so no shopping trips or anything like that unless we visit each other. I have a SIL and a neighbor who will take me to buy material, and DH reluctantly does, but no browsing. So I do most of my shopping on line, and get my ideas, and learn so much on this board. Wish someone here lived in my town.
