I am from NWI. You should try to come to the Shipshewana meet and greet. Several of us are planning on going. Craftybear is in charge.

I am a flight attendant (US) and actually had the opportunity to meet another member and her husband in Malaga, Spain, on a layover. They picked me up at the hotel, we went sight-seeing and then had a marvelous dinner seaside! It was really nice.

Yes, well we are planning to meet together real soon! Deb Watkins and I are very close to each other (less than 10 miles) and it just so happens that my sister is marrying her best friend on June 18th so we will see each together there too :-) I'm standing up for her and she is standing up for him. A small world we live in.

I've met Kitsie and we've gotten together a couple of times and intend to more, when we get through our long rainy season. Her quilting skills intimidate me but she's very nice.

I get to meet Mary Hennessey tomorrow at her home. We met on this topic and talked on the phone today for the first time. Can't wait!

How cool is that?

Thanks Gabrielle's Mimi for posting this topic.

I have made friends with Heartwarming Quilts. We had a Western Washington meet and greet and she wasn't able to come. I made arrangements to go see her. We have really hit it off. I am going to visit her again tomorrow! She is a blessing and a joy in my life!

We haven't met, but it has been a lot of fun sending and receiving PM's with a quilter in Japan since the earthquake and tsunami. She happens to live on the airbase where my youngest daughter was born 54 years ago! She's kept me apprised of the good and bad news from the earthquake and tsunami, and it's been almost like taking a trip to Japan.

Love this Board!

She has been there for me every step of the way in the most difficult time of my life, and she is always cracking me up with her antics! (yeah mom, i said it). Gosh, we just bring the fiesty out in each other! She is truly a blessing my life
