Not sure if you are refering to the Shared Stiches quilt meeting or the one back east. We met at a small dining place in Cameron Park. I forgot the name of the cafe. But there are other fun places to meet - we stopped at High Sierra Quilt shop that day to. There are lots of small quilt shops in the Folsom, El Dorado Hills, area off hwy 50.

I'm happy for you. Friends are a gift. I hope to make lots.

Sounds wonderful!! What I love is that, even if you don't get to meet in person, you feel like you know everyone personally!! Every time I've had a question, many have responded, often within minutes... with great answers!! Where else in the (cyber) world is this true????

I'm so glad you got to meet a new friend. It's easy to bond with fellow quilters because we all have a common bond right out of the gate in which to build a relationship...we quilt, love fabric, have kids, great families and we're all generous with our knowledge, advise, and help. With a great foundation such as these friendships grow. I'm part of a QB group here in the PNW who get together now and then at individual homes and we do a beach retreat a couple times a year. I love the ladies I've met through this board and look forward to meeting more of the ladies in the future.

Haven't met anyone in person yet, but the ones I've PM'd with and talked to on the phone have been terrific!

Sounds like you had a wonderful time and added some extra fun to their trip.

Met some very nice ladies at our Minnesota meet and greet. I even learned something new about quilting.

Wow that was great and i'm glad you had a good time.

Very nice. I love stories like this. Here's hoping the friendship continues to grow.

I am happy for you and them not only to have a fun time at Marshalls which is great, but to meet new friends. How much better can a day be. Thanks for sharing your fun with us.
