Nope, I'm in Maryland, but welcome just the same! :)

Welcome from Baton Rouge

Hi and welcome. There are several of us here in silicon valley. Do you know what area you will be moving to? There are a lot of great quilt shops here and the surrounding areas.

Welcome from northern california. Our daughter lives down south in central california in san francisco.

Welcome on Board! I don't live in Silicon Valley but a little farther north in the San Francisco east bay. I think you will find a very vibrant quilting community and very nice shops in your new digs. Look up guilds when you get here; that's the best way to make new quilting friends. Good luck!

Hello from Western Mountain Maryland !!

Yes, I'm from Silicon Valley -- have been here for 46 years. What city are you moving to?

Hello and welcome from Maryland!

Hello, and welcome from Idaho!

Welcome to the board from Southern California!!!
I'm about 6 hours south of there.

I'm not from Silicon Valley, but I know their are some great shops within a short driving distants, I come that way every few months, Welcome Aboard :D

Hi Everyone,
Again thanks for all the wonderful welcomes! We are not sure what city but anticipate between San Francisco and San Jose. I have a sister and brother in SF and sister in Sacramento. DH will be working in Tucson AZ and commuting.
House prices will play a large factor in location.

Welcome from Arizona. You moved far. You will probably like Calif.

We have moved around quite a bit. Met in CA, kids born in Austin TX, moved back to CA, then to Lancaster PA, on to NY. Now back to CA where my family is.

With the house prices here you might want to look in towns between San Jose and San Francisco such as mountain view, Sunnyvale . Some of the smaller towns aren't as high priced. Best of luck on your move.

Wow! That's some move. And life-style change... enjoy!
Welcome from E Tennessee. moved from snow-covered Michigan 30 years ago, and love it here.

Don't worry you will find them!

Welcome from Central Indiana!

Welcome to the board from cold country Minnsota!

Welcome from northeast CA. So glad you joined us. If you don't mind me asking, your husband will be working in AZ., but you're moving to CA.? Why don't you move to AZ.? The housing would be a lot more reasonably priced than the area you're planning on moving to.

Welcome from central Louisiana

Not moving to AZ because my sisters and brother are in CA. My sister in law is also there. My DH is staying at his mom house, and yes housing is much more reasonable there but not where I want to be now.

If your looking for somewhere resonable try Stockton, we bought here and got a great deal on a house, and love it here. Plus we have a great quilt guild.

Hello, and a warm welcome, from SE Kansas

Welcome to the QB! It really doesn't matter where you are we will find you! That is the blessing with this group we are always around when you need us. Just tell me when I am supposed to be having coffee with you!

Don't worry. If something exists anywhere it will be available within 60 miles of where you are in silicon valley. I used to live in north bay. Welcome to the board.

Welcome from Murrells Inlet, SC

I'm moving back to Livermore - not too far from Silicon Valley. There are numerous quilt guilds within a easy driving distance from Livermore. Not to mention that Alex Anderson lives in Livermore. The Quilt Museum is in San Jose.

welcome from se TX

Welcome Lynn, I live a bit further north but I can tell you there are quilters there, lots of them. Any the big Pacific International Quilt Show is in Santa Clara every October. You are going to love it in CA. There are lots of quilt shops and quilters here and I am sure you'll find them.

I also live in Stockton. And I will be joining this quilt guild this month!

Welcome from MA.
