How wonderful for both of you. Finding a friend to share the same passion is a blessing. I would love to find someone to share with. The ladies I work with are wonderful and my "regular" friends are great, and I count myself lucky to have them-but they do not have the same desire to quilt as I do. We quilters are "special" and it takes another quilter to share that feeling. Enjoy your newfound friendship with your fellow quilter!

Met a quilter in Knoxville, Tenn, while awaiting the birth of my nephew. She called me Ms, I called her Tenn, We quilted together at her shop and she loaned me a Bernina to sew with at his house. She didn't know a thing about me, just that we were both quilters. She gave me instruction to make a quilt I loved in her shop. After 4 weeks, I made her a chocolate cake, returned her machine, took some pics and came home. She was without doubt the sweetest person one could meet. I still call her my friend.

It's so nice to hear stories like this. I also feel like you'all are friends that I can count on for help and encouragement. I don't physically have anyone to quilt, share ideas, or go fabric shopping with; but I do think everyone here helps fill that void.

Wishing great weather for the weekend happenings in Texas. Any blocks not finished could be mailed later with a picture of the couple, and a self addressed stamped envelope with instructions.

That is wonderful. I agree that you meet the nicest people on this board.

I met a bunch of ladies from my area and we have started a quilting group. We get together once a month and they are so much fun. I just love the time I spend with them.

Well spoken! Hugs to all my new "family"!

I think you're right. There are so many nice people here and I've met so many more at quilt guild or quilt group meetings, at quilt shows and even at the shops. You run into a grouch now and then but surprisingly seldom. Must just be something in quilting that brings out the goodness in people.

When I sign on to this board I feel like I'm opening the door to a house full of friends. We all care and look out for each other.
