Hi everyone. I've been quilting for years so I'm not new to quilting but I'm new to this forum. I live in a "smaller" rural town about an hour outside of Las Vegas but we have 2 quilt stores and one other fabric store, plus our Wal*Mart sells fabric. I guess you could say we are lucky here. I quilt and crochet and sew. *grin* I can't wait to share my fiber and fabric addictions with everyone! Cheers!

Any other quilters from Nevada?

hello and welcome from SW Iowa. Glad to have you here.

Hi and welcome. So Cal here but I have been known to travel to Vegas once in a while.

Hi, Bodie358. I'm from So Cal, too. Lived in L.A. and Ventura counties, traveled from Simi Valley to Van Nuys and Rancho Cucamonga to work. Can't say I miss the commute or the smog, but I really miss the people!

Hi, littlehud, and thank you.

Welcome to the board from Southern California!!

Thank you, Gayle.

I actually live half the year in So Cal and half the year in Central California - near Yosemite. I get tired of the traffic and smog and go up. Then I get bored with all the peace and quiet and come back down. Works for me.

Hi and welcome from the sunny state of Florida!!!

Thank you! Good to be here!

So glad that you joined us :D:D:D

I wish I was still in Las Vegas...does that count? We had to move to Texas last spring but I'm still trying to find a way to smuggle myself back to Nevada! :cry: I miss it so very much! Where do you live?

Hi gdcleanfun! I have a brother in Henderson and go to visit once or twice a year. He's only been there a year or so, so I haven't had time to scout out any new shops.

Hope you enjoy all the inspiration shown here!

My husband was stationed at Nellis for several years, but we're in Colorado now. Welcome!

We're in Pahrump. It's really grown these past few years, we number at just below 40,000 people now.

Thank you, Amma. :)

Thank you, booklady.

Colorado is such a pretty state. I have a brother living in Colorado Springs and nieces and nephews scattered nearby. And, thank you!

Hi and welcome from Oklahoma.

Thank you, Oklahoma Suzie!

Hi, Waving from Indiana, USA

Above go to the user list and type in Nevada and it will bring up other members from your state. Just send them a private message.

I met a nice lady from Indiana and we have become close friends. Awesome!

Welcome from cool Minnesota - you can find others from Nevada by going to the top of the message board page - click on 'user list' - then put in your state name in the second box down (the first one is for searching for members by name) - hit search and it will show who else says they are from your state. But, if they didn't put that info in their profile to begin with, it won't list those people. Have fun on the board! There's a great bunch of quilters here - guys & gals - from all over the world!

Hi Gdcleanfun! Welcome. I have learned so much from the great quilters on this board. I live in Vegas. Would love to hear about the stores in Pahrump. We go over 'the hump' once in awhile. (love to take the grandkids camping at Terrible's Lakeside Resort) Our Walmarts are all losing the fabric departments. Are you in a guild? I've never joined one but would like to find out about them.

Hello and welcome from Texas :-)

Wow, Hi every one, and thanks for all your responses and the info on how to find other Nevadans.

@ Lynn, we have 4 places in Pahrump that sell fabric. The Quilted Dragon has the most fabric and classes and kits and books and notions/tools. Bernina's is good too but with less fabric. Then we have Crewel World, they sell a small amount of fabric but have a good supply of yarns and embroidery threads. Lastly, there's Wal*Mart -- their selection of fabric is just okay, not the best quality, but okay if you are pinching pennies. lol If I can't find what I'm looking for here then I usually go online as it's too far for me to drive over the hump with my unreliable car. I sometimes ride along to the city if a friend is driving. Most of my friends are quilters so there's usually not a problem talking them into stopping at a local quilt shoppe, especially if I pay for gas. lol

Hi fellow Pahrumpian. Have you lived here long? PM me sometime and maybe we can plan a trip to Vegas. That would be fun.

Katia, Hi! I sent you a PM.

Lynn, here's a link for you to check to see if there is a Desert Quilters of Nevada (DWN) quilt circle near you.

http://www.desertquiltersofnevada.or..._locations.php

There could be other circles in the Las Vegas area that might not be associated with DQN, maybe you could google for some. Our circle in Pahrump, Shadow Mountain Quilters, is no longer affiliated with them, but I wish we still were! (Goofy politics!) They have some pretty snazzy (well known) speakers!

Quilty Hugs!
