I have been lucky with the group I "stitch" with. We do lots of differnt things but don't mind and often meet to celebrate our difference. <br /><br />I didn't hear about the quilt show our local quilt shop just did a major expansion for more space because it's so awesome. Mostly because of the owner and staff. check out Milli P's in uptown Anoka. <br /><br />have a great tripJuliannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10871772935880681983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8408237466680431412.post-27620856818303947662012-04-25T15:04:56.188-05:002012-04-25T15:04:56.188-05:00Heidi, enjoy the quilt show in Rochester.

Maybe we could meet up sometime! I had to laugh a bit at the Duluth comment. My guess is that if you are only an hour away from Rochester you are HOURS away from Duluth. Good big ole MN. None of my friends from Illinois have any idea how I can be 3 hours from the cities!!!KristyLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04029984379489465881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8408237466680431412.post-1461879074636061412012-04-25T07:24:43.832-05:002012-04-25T07:24:43.832-05:00Does your LQS have a customer info pin board, coul...Does your LQS have a customer info pin board, could you put up a post card inviting other ladies to go it alone together.

One reason I love being involved with blogging is the lack of quilts friends that I enjoy here. I've moved a lot due to husbands career and made some really great friends around the world...I'm bummed I don't have same here either. We do have a guild....not the best in my book....I compare them to the really good ones I was in. This guild is old school and set in their ways.

Two years , where do the days go...<br />I wish I lived closer to you and not on the other side of the world becuase you sound like my sort of friend Heidi....<br />Have fun on your bus trip and quilt show.

Although there is a quilt guild somewhere around here, they meet at times which are unfortunately inconvenient for me (due mainly to child care issues), and of those I know who DO sew (most of whom are extended family!), there is only one who quilts ... and she does crazy amazing appliqué + embroidery, designed from picture to quilt, and hand quilted!! The full hog!! WAY beyond my comfort zone atm, lol! Besides this, she has also gone back to work this year, after quite a few off due to health issues, and she doesn't really do all that much quilting these days! ... I guess I'll have to just enjoy my over-the-web-quilty-friends!!<br />Have a great time on the bus trip!! I hope you make a (or several!!) new friends!!Larissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06366510866652989740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8408237466680431412.post-91993955375595748822012-04-24T23:26:39.538-05:002012-04-24T23:26:39.538-05:00That sounds like fun!
