Hi Jetnica - where are you in relation to Greensburg/Pittsburgh. I was born and raised in Pgh but for the past two years I've lived in Burgettstown (know where that is?).
I'm hoping to find some quilting shops, classes, guilds close by when I get home. I know there is a guild that meets on Tues mornings in Washington - might check that out.
You'll have to let me know where you find the shops in Pgh.

I live in Wheeling WV -- Greensburg is about an hour and a half from me. My bf used to play paintball there every sunday, and finally I decided to find something to do up there so we could travel together. Wouldn't you know it, the week after I find the shop, fall in love, and order a machine, the paintball park went bankrupt!! So now I'm going to greensburg by myself - but the girls in the shop are worth the drive.
The bf is playing *in* pittsburgh now, says if i find a shop downtown I could walk to it... but I like the greensburg shop!
I will keep you updated -- let me know about the guild in washington - I may join with you!!
edited to add: I know burgettstown! (used to be starlake, then postgazette, now it's something new) -- went to a few dave matthews band concerts there -- it's also on the "anti-79" way home...

Hi Finch - bummer - like you, I sure wish I could find a close quilter friend. Where is Keyser? If I weren't so stuck on this message board I could go to Google Maps - LOL!

Keyser is about 25 miles from Cumberland Md. Actually that it where I was born. I just moved to Florida a year ago. I have been to Leesburg.It is pretty there.
