Hello from New York/Scotland
 

I've just moved to New York City from Scotland. I'll be here for 3 years and really want to learn about and do as much quilting as possible. Can anyone recommend a local quilters guild for me? I'll be living in Forest Hills, Queens. Thank you in advance!

Welcome to NY.. I don't know of any quilting guilds, as I don't have time to join. I can tell you that there is a wonderful fabric store in Astoria, which is not far from Forest Hills. If you Google fabric stores in Astoria, you will find the store I think on 30th st. I don't live in the area, as I live on Long Island. He sells all kinds of fabric, but has a bunch of cottons for $2.50 a yard that are amazingly decent, and has a bunch of batiks, and color washed. Hope you enjoy your stay here.

Hello and welcome from a dull and dreich Scotland! If you get homesick, just keep reminding yourself of the $22 price tag for a metre of fabric here, lol! ;)

Lol this is so true! Even with import its still cheaper to buy from US!

hi from another Granite City dweller

Thank you so much for that information, that's very helpful. We have now moved in and I will get over to Astoria and find the store as soon as I get the chance.

Haha!! Thank you!! Yes, I will remember that, I'm going to be moving back with cases full of fabric I think .

Hi from Maryland.

Hi, and Welcome to the board. The next 3 years will pass so quickly once you start quilting. I'm in Illinois, maybe you can just do an online search for a guild in your area, or call the local Chamber of Commerce in your city and get a phone number for a Guild. Well, Good luck hope your search goes well.

Welcome from NE Ohio.

Well, I have arrived in my new house and am starting my quilting career. I went to a couple of classes while I was in Hawaii last month so my first endeavour, already under way, will be a Hawaiian quilt. I am planning to visit Bennington, Vermont next month to see the Jane Stickle quilt so I think that may be an ongoing project from then as well. Still no signs of a quilters guild near me so I may just have to start one myself.
