So I'm fairly new to this quilting board and my name is Ronda (without an H). I recently met another "Rhonda" (with the H) on here, who happens to live 15 minutes from me! How cool is that? We've met up and although she's skinny and cute, I still like her! LOL! Today, we're going to a Shop Hop being sponsored in the area and plan on having a great quilt experience! "To Wanda!"

I am so pleased for you, you will become great buddies I am sure, I was commenting to earthwalker that we come in all shapes and sizes all different walks of life but we all have at least 1 thing in common, QUILTING YAY

Isn`t it fun. I met a quilter who lives 30 min away and we`ve hit it off so well. She is joining my guild!
Also met one in Michigan we stop at every time we cross the border now.
Have fun shopping with you new quilting buddy!

Yeah!!!!!!!!! That is so fun!!!!!!!!

This board has brought a lot of people together! Isn't it so much fun to meet someone close to you that also has the same interest as you?

I have a few from the board this live close by but have not met any of them. I am happy for you and Rhonda. Have fun.

Wonderful. Enjoy the friendship.

We expect pictures from all the shopping and well of course the two of you together :thumbup: Have a great time :lol:

How cool!!!
I don't have anyone near me that's active on the board.

You need to move to Ky, so we can hang out.

I have made such good friends through quilting. You will too. What fun!

It sure is a small world. Enjoy your shop hop.

Isn't it fun to meet other quilters. I met one from this site just this week. We live close together and I met her at a guild meeting. I was the visitor. BTW - I love the quilt in your avatar.

I found somebody from the board who lives in my town! It does make for a small world!

I hope that you have a great time and post pictures for us :D:D:D

It's so fun when you can put a face with the name.

It is a small world, have a great time with you new quilting buddy.

Thank you Cindy! I started with a center and just kept going...it was a gift for my DD for her birthday.

Thanks ladies! I completely forgot to take my camera! We had a blast though and spent waaay too much money. Next time we'll have to take pictures!

that is so cool, I also have met some quilters on this board and we live close by! so much fun!

Almost six years ago, I escaped an abusive marriage, moved away from where I had lived all my life and married my High School sweetheart !!New Life...needed New Friends... I've met so many good friends through quilting! In fact tomorrow I am going with a quilter I met on Facebook, to another Facebook Quilter Friends house 6.5 hrs away, to attend The Gees Bend Exhibit in London ONT! I have friends from all over the world that I met through quilting. Even been to Australia to meet up with quilter friends and hope to go to New Zealand in the next couple of years!!

Is there anyone here from NE Wisconsin, Appleton area?

Isn't that wonderful , Don't know if any one is close to me? Any one in WV close to Huntington WV , Ashland KY or Chesapeake OH ???? That's our Tri State area

I just recently met someone on here who lives where I used to live. Seems we have a lot in common. It's just to bad she doesn't live closer, we could go shopping. I don't have anyone down here that quilts. Trying to get my sister-in-law interested, but I'm not sure about that. I had such fun material shopping with friends long ago.

I haven't met anybody here who lives nearby, but I've met a couple of quilters here who I became sort of penpals with.

HI, I am from a small twon called Hillsboro,Ohio

Where in Washington? I am for the next 5 weeks calling Moses Lake/Warden area home. As my husband and I are full time travelers. Parked at home in O'Sullivan's RV Resort.

I am also Ronda with no H . Rhonda with an H sent me templates once she's a very nice person. Lets hear it for the Ronda's with or with out an H :)

You are south of Columbus, Ohio quilters are the best. I used to go to Amish country all the time for fabric. Have you been there? I miss those days. And beautiful colors in the Fall.

Ihaven't found any one who lives in Missouri.

Wow I wish that would happen to me! Hope you become good life long friends!

So happy for you both. Have great fun.

That is so neat, I have meant a few quilters from my area, we have a get together every couple months, to visit, and show what we are working on. It is very fun. I don't do more, as I don't have money to shop for fabric, but that sure would be a blast. I have a few ladies I would love to meet, but they will have to remain my pen pal friends. God bless. Penny

Karen lives in MO! {Her user name is just Karen}

Gale, I DO like the bag in your avatar. Did you make it?

yes i made it its the small bow tuck without the bows and tucks lol
i put a zipper in the top with the help of my neighbour.

There are lots of us from Missouri. Where in MO are you located? I am close to Springfield.

Well, Ronda (without an H), that is awesome. Hope you have oodles of fun .

Ronda without an H...I just moved from Denver! Too bad we didn't hook up while I was there...there are tons of quilters in Denver!

I'm in eastern Washington, close to Spokane...I think you're several hours west of me...I've seen signs, but never been there...yet! You're adventurous! Maybe next year we'll be heading that way for camping...do you do this every year?

I am in northeast florida, anybody close. we lived in WNY and moved 6 years ago to be with DD.
