Met a Quilter at a Car Show!
I was at a car show yesterday. The wife of the guy next to me showed up around noon. I said "Hello" and they went off to eat lunch. Later when I was packing up to leave, she noticed the quilted bags I made to put my stuff in after the show and asked me about the fabric. I had one in my hand so I walked over to show it to her. She said "Did you do the quilting on them?" and I told her that I used them to practice FMQ for my kind sized bed quilt I was making which, of course, resulted in "quilting talk". She said she was part of the Tri County Quilt Guild which is one that I've been meaning to visit and see if I'd like to join it. She was so nice and since I'm getting close to being at least semi retired, we talked about that. So next month I'm going to finally get it together and go to this quilt guild meeting! I'm very excited! Since I'm going to be working a bit less now, I'd love to find a guild to be part of. Sadly, due to moving and in a couple cases losing friends, I don't have many quilting buddies left and I so need some f2f quilting contact. I think this will be so much fun!
