So Sorry to all those I come across and say something to. I don't mean to offend or creep you out. I just need adult conversation once in a while. Talking to kids can get tiring some days.
I am like you, I often ask someone what they are going to make from their fabric or let them know I like it. I never thought I was being rude - just striking up conversations with fellow quilters. I can usually tell if people do not like my asking and if I get that feeling I just move on hoping to run into a quilter that will talk. Like someone else said, most quilters are talkative, friendly people. I usually quilt alone, so if I am in a quilt shop I feel like I am around people with like interests and try to converse with them. Now I'm afraid I may not be so talkative for fear someone may think I'm strange.
