I'm so excited to have someone to share my quilting with and someone to help me with more challenging projects.

I assume she is a new neighbor with a NEW CLEAN garage floor! How wonderful you have a close-by quilting buddy. I have two next door and it's great to share!

How wonderful for you!! I am jealous. (but in a good way!)

She has 2 pieces of plywood down that she cleans after each quilt she works on. She has a 2 car garage and she can leave it set up all the time. I have a 1 car garage and would have to pick it up after each use. I am looking forward to having a neighbor that has a love of quilting.

As soon as I read your post I too was thinking "gotta have a CLEAN garage floor" followed by "must be a NICE neighborhood" ... and then I had to check and sure enough, you're not in the frozen north. Ummm... those of us in snowy areas would have wet garage floors or icy ones, for quite a few months! ;)

Thinking the same way, bring her on board! Cool that the two of you met. Having another creative mind is inspiring.

Wow wish I could find someone in the neighbor hood like that too!

That's how I felt last wk. when I served 3 days on jury duty. By the third day, we were all getting a little rummy & got to chatting when I discovered one of the women was not only a quilter but a long armer. She belongs to a lot of guilds & seems to be all over the place. I now have her ph.# for when I need final quilting done.
