Hi I'm in Parkersburg, been quilting since 2002 when I retired from GE.
If you're looking for quilt retreat there are several GREAT ones at North Bend State Park. In fact, the're having a mini one next weekend. In Feb. and Mar. they have week long ones ... they are so much fun. The 2012 events are not on the calendar yet but here's 2011

Here's my blog write up from the 2010 Feb. retreat. Guess I forgot to do the 2011 retreat.

Hi Ladies,
I live in Putnam county and work in Dunbar. There are a couple of guilds. The one in Kanawha county goes to that event in Ripley every year, I do believe, but I was just trying to get on their website and it isn't working. I think it's the Kanawha Valley Quilter's Guild. They meet every Monday morning, which is inconvenient for me.
There is also one in Huntington. Others I'm sure, but those are the ones I remember in this region. I don't belong to one yet but recently met a new friend from a yahoo group that lives in Charleston. I'm a brand new quilter but she is also teaching me basic sewing. We've been meeting at her house each weekend.
Been considering setting up something at my church, but I don't know. I just want to get together with others of a like mind and sew! :)

So, we still have 2 months. *crossing fingers*
