Oh how fun!!! I took my grandson on a 3 1/2hr. whale watch cruise this summer; and wasn't til we were almost back to the harbor when something in the conversation came up to make me aware that we had been sitting with a quilter during the whole ride. She and I spent the last 10 minutes of the cruise just chatting up a storm lol. I told her of 4 great quiltshops in the area; and her hubby told me to stop telling her because she would want to stop at all of them. I never got her name....sad, we could have stayed in touch. We certainly had alot in common; even both have had our right knees replaced, and we both had our grandsons with us.

That's great! Sounds like you will have loads of fun together!
A couple of years ago I was stuck in the hospital for over a week and I kept noticing that one of my nurses wore a "I Love Quilting" lanyard around her neck. I asked about it and we got to talking, the next day she brought me her album full of pics she had taken at various quilt shows and a couple of quilt magazines! I ran into her recently at the local quilt show.

I have found so many great people to talk to who are...quilters, former quilters, daughters and granddaughters of quilters, or want-a-be quilters. The craft is so exciting for so many people! that they want to talk patterns, and past quilt experiences. I LOVE IT!!!!!

I recently found a quilting friend on this board that only lives 4 blocks from me! :thumbup: We have become fast friends. Quilting has become even more fun now that I have someone that I can go shopping with!
