There was a really small quilt show last year at our Applefest, but I was out of town! I know they're out there! I've googled quilt groups and gilds, but was never able to find any that were closer then say 30 miles. Should I take out an ad in the local paper "lonely quilter wants a quilt friend?" lol...I know I know....this group is almost the same thing! Love it in here!
Other's have asked the same in the responses... Where in OH are you?? anywhere around Lorain, OH?? on Lake Erie?? There are a few guilds in the area...Amherst and Vermilion and I believe Westlake too! For more info, contact me "privately" through this site (private messages in the menu above). cpfrog |
I wish you lived next door to me.I would love a good quilting friend!!

Google Meetup Groups to see if there is a Meetup quilting group in your area.

We have a Vocational School that teaches all sorts of classes.. heavy duty stuff.. but they also have classes on wood carving and golf..photography and quilting... perhaps you have one in your area.. or one that's close enough to take a few weeks class from. Generally the art/craft classes are shorter than the auto machanic or heat and air type classes!

Is there an LDS church in your town? There's sure to be a quilting group there, if not a formal guild. Many other churches also have quilting groups, as well as county-funded community centers. You're bound to find something close by! Good luck!

Hey granniebj, I'm in Canton, Ohio. How close are you to me? I'm 57 and have 7 wonderful grandchildren. Sounds like we have a lot in common already!
|
taking out an ad in your local paper sounds really good to me.

Check with the quilt shops in your area
