Buddy hunting! lol this post really started something. Cyber buddies are great too!
I live in Castle Rock Washington, which does have a quilt shop. Ten miles north in Longview/Kelso there are 3-4 more quilty shops, so I guess I'm blessed with them. There is a guild there, Lady of the Lake, but haven't contacted them, since I'm barely working and am short on funds these days.
But if any Washington buddies are nearby, it'd be great to know!

amyjo-I've been reading on this board for a long time, but have never made comments. I'm also from ND, it is tough to find affordable material even in Bismarck. I live near Center.
All on here post such lovely pics of quilts, mounds of great info and I truly enjoy visiting the board. Thanx all.

Next time you go to that fabric shop, ask some of the customers if there are other shops in the area, get into a conversation about quilting(you may make a friend there) and you can order fabric on line from www.connectingthreads.com. www.fabricshack.com, www.quiltfabriccloseout.com, www.thousandsofbolts.com along with www.keepsakequilting.com(they will send a catalog to you if you request it or you can shop on line in their catalog).
Some times I get lonely living by myself here in Idaho where I have no relatives. Don't go any place to meet friends. I met one friend at the Doctors office and two more are my neighbors. So I try to keep busy with my quilting and the lonely goes away.

You can take 75 south then 16 east and it runs just south of where I live. I don't work and I'm not quite retired. I am a SAHM. My baby is 20 months old. That is her in my avatar.
:-D :D :D

I'm not what you call overly sociable. Sadly, at 62 I learned that friends are difficult to find and sometimes harder to keep. I'm not what you call lonely, just would like someone who shares my joy of quilting and giving to others.
And horror or horrors, I've found only 1 quilt shop around here. Can you believe that? Just one!
So, if you live around Madison Co. and would like to make acquaintances, let me know. Maybe you know where there are other quilt shops nearby. With the cost of gas, a trip to Lexington is a luxury I really can't afford these days.

Well, too far to travel!!! But in case anyone out there is looking for a buddy around Corbin, Ky. Drop me a line. I am free most days and would love someone to shop, trade, and,hopefully, even sew with some times.
