Several months ago I met Akrogirl on this board. We had several things in common and found that we both lived in AZ. We have met several times for lunch and are enjoying a new-found friendship thanks to the Board. Has anyone else met a Board member and developed a friendship?

Yes, I have met lots of new friends from the Quilting Board and we all have fun

It is fun going shopping together, sew together and enjoy all of them

I have meet many from the board here , talk to them on the phone and know that if I need anything they are there for me :thumbup:

Hey Craftybear, thanks for the good things you send all of us here on the Board!

I have met nanainvirginia. we live about 20 miles apart or so. We have had lunch a few times and went shopping a couple times. Funny lady!! We went to the quilt store today and it was like the blind leading the blind trying to do the color match thing!! It has been alot of fun hanging out!

You are very very welcome!

As I love surfing online for cool new free ideas for all of us

I have met nice people too...one lives where I do in Kewaunee WI but will be getting together with her now that she is back from Florida for the summer. Also, met a couple ladies on here in Green Bay WI and joined them for sewing when I was off on compensation. This is so nice to have and meet people. I also have many that I email back and forth. It is so nice.......

Yes, I recently met two IRL when they were in my area at a LQS. I couldn't go with them as I had to attend a 60th birthday party. It was so kind of them to be my escape plan!! *giggles*

I've met several virtually and am enjoying their company in cyberspace. A few of them are close enough to me geographically that I anticipate some GTGs, FARTs and dear knows what!! :)

(you know who you are ladies ... though I won't mention names!!! .... you can though, if you wish!)

I have met 2, dkabasketlady and Izaquilter. I love both of them and they are such a joy to hang out with. I have lost track of how many I have spoken to on the phone. Each time I talk to someone new it is as if we have known each other all our lives.

yes, my quilting buddy Rose_P lives just a few miles from me -- we email most days and exchange ideas and pictures -- we get together when we can -- it's wonderful to have a friend with which to share quilting
