Never had a quilting buddy!!! :(
No one even lives close to me that quilts!
Self taught & still learning.. oh how I wish I had one too!!!

Hey Fran isn't she close to you? I was thinking about you when I read her post of where she is located at...maybe you & Mona could start a quilt group with her?
I just talked to a couple of ladies at church on Sunday to see if we could get a group together. We are planning to do so on the 1st & 3rd Thurs of each month. I just need to go to the board meeting next Monday and get it approved. I don't see any problems with doing it. Thurs are free days at the church. Nothing going on there on that day. Wish us luck. Maybe I will be able to (finally) get some of my UFO's completed during that time.

We are all afloat on the quilting sea. This site with all the wonderful people is a lifeboat to me.

oh gosh I would love a quilting buddy also I live in Lapeer Mi

Wish we were closer................ (SE IA)

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Ditto!!! BUT nice to share a cup of coffee too!

I would enjoy being your Buddy, but it would be a long distance relationship. I only get to your area once a year. LOL

a local quilting buddy sounds like a good idea! anyone near germantown, md?

Would you like to move to Florida? Masschusetts that is. I have no buddies either.

I am about 20 miles from Cumberland, MD

I second this motion!

I am too far away also.at least my daughter quilts-also grand kids are learning

I have the same problem too. Hope you find
someone close who will be a helper and friend to
you.

I would love a quilting buddy also. We live in NW Iowa but wanting to move soon to southern Missouri. So maybe I will get close to someone down that way. I hope you find someone soon!! Good Luck!!

Sounds great! Would you consider moving closer to me? ;-D

I'm in Minnesota as well. Come here.

I hang out by myself also. But I live in Nevada.

I'm close but still an hour or more north of you. Sorry.
Did you know there are 2 small quilt shows coming up this weekend. Villa Rose (an assisted living community) in Bethalto, IL is having it's annual quilt show this Saturday 10-3. www.villaroseslc.com
There is also one in Highland IL at Faith Countryside Atrium, 1331 26th St. It is Friday 10-4 and Saturday 9-3.
Did you know there is a great little quilt shop in Troy, IL. It's called Sweet Annies and is on Market St. She just expanded and it's easy to get to.
I've convinced my hubby to come with me this year to the shows! I'm sure he will come home with plenty of ideas for new quilts for me.

Watterstide, exactly how close are you to Detroit?

lunch, shopping, learning new things, trips, sew ins, food ideas,

Just all the normal things.

All the normal things. Shopping, lunch, trips, ideas, sew ins.

Frog90 and all the others looking for a buddy. We could all be your buddy to talk to but to really help you with the sewing and quilting you need a friend close by so look for a bee or a church qroup. You might can put a message in the church newsletter. Good luck on your search.
Also you might look for a reteat and fill in if its not full. another way to find quilter

where in So Missouri? We have land in Fredericktown.....

Moving to Federicktown, Mo later on....

Long way south

My FIL lives in New Athens, and whenever we are there we stay in Bellville. Next time we get home, I will try to get in touch first

Sorry, too far. I do have a quilting buddy from the little chuch where I quilt on Thursdays. Fun to work out fabrics and patterns with someone who loves to quilt also. She is quite a long time quilter and I am new, but I have learned some things I shared with her. Fun helping another improve our skills. We are in N Texas.

I would like a "quilting" buddy, I live in
San Diego ...

I would but I live in minnesota.. I am up for meeting once ever other month or so in middle of WI if you are!

We're quite far from you but if you are ever up here let me know. We can do lunch and a small project or something!

That would be a nice thing to do I know a few good places to eat.

With gas the way it is I do not think it possible now, thanks

I am not sure where that is.

Where are you ladies from

I just found out about the shop in
troy and also of one in Highland that I do not know the address of yet.

I live in Kirkwood.

I'm to far away in Mn.

If you don't mind a long distance buddy, I am more than happy :lol:

I too would love a quilting buddy, but I live in Maine, would you like to move here with me?

I have a son who lives in Maine.
