Welcome back to the boards! Not sure if we interacted before, but two years ago I moved to the middle of Illinois where I didn't know anyone. I was very lucky to have a chance encounter with a lady wearing a quilting t-shirt at the auto mechanic's shop. Anyway, if you ever want to meet up somewhere in the middle of our two middles, I'd be up for that as a day trip to a quilt shop or whatever. Hubby is also willing to travel for BBQ
Otherwise, nice to meet you here on the boards too.
