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!!

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.
