I also like to see location of people

I always look to see where everyone is from too.

I like knowing where everyone is from as well. Sometimes I see someone from my home town (Kalamazoo, MI) or Virginia or Grants Pass, OR..... It is nice to find old neighbors who like to quilt as much as I do.

I was reading this tread and checking everyone's thread until I came to yours. I am from WV and I go there several times a year to visit my sister and her family in Buckhannon and I have a grand-daughter and great grand-daughter that lives in Fairmont. The reason yours got my attention was not only because you mentioned WV but you are from Merced. My ex-daughter in law lives there with my grand-daughter. What a small world.

A cousin found me on this board! We didn't even know about each other, and we still haven't met. We live about 2 1/2 hours apart! Are you reading this today, Joy?

I also love seeing where everyone is from. My granddaugter loves reading the messages also and is amazed when she sees all the different places everyone is from.

I love to see where people are from, and then I look in wikopedia to see exactly where they are and have learned a lot of interesting :) facts.

i love to see where everyone is , hoping there is someone in my hometown

Judy - that is a stunning bargello in your avatar!

I do the same thing. I keep hoping that someone will be in my area so that we can meet and talk quilting. So far, it hasn't happened. Anyone within 20-30 miles of Portland, Or want to get together?
