Hi from Carmel, Indiana!
If you're in Anderson, you're not far away at all.
Did you join the Indianapolis guild? We just moved here last July, and I just joined in January. It's pretty impressive--several hundred members and they bring in well-known quilters to speak and then do workshops the next day or two.
The Bloomington show a month or so ago was amazing, and I'm told it's that good every year.
Look forward to meeting you!
