| Mimosa by Windham Fabrics |
One of the absolute best things about blogging is all the people you get to meet from all walks of life and from all over the world. It also exposes you to all kinds of quilting and techniques that maybe you would have never discovered on your own.
Yesterday I met up with Helen of Til We Quilt Again. Her guild was meeting in Lancaster for a retreat this weekend. They were headed to Burkholder's Fabric Store, so where else are quilters going to meet? I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Helen in person and also got to meet some of her friends. I know it won't be the last time.
Of course fabric was purchased but we will just let the picture speak for itself.......
Have you met people through your blog?
Kelly
Yes! And you are right...it's the BEST!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, I've met so many people since I started blogging in 2006. Even better I've made some true friends. I love knowing that I can travel almost anywhere and meet up with someone that I know!
ReplyDeletenever....ha ha - that's how we met. I have been blessed to have met so many really talented, generous and nice people through blogging. It's truly been a blessing for me.
ReplyDeletefun fabrics.
That Mimosa line was made for you!
ReplyDeleteYes, I've met many through my nine years of blogging, including one of your commenters! (Hi Barb!) I've never had a bad experience, people (just quilters?) always seem to be very much as they come across online. My most interesting get-togethers have been at the Tokyo Quilt Festival, meeting internet friends from Japan, Singapore and New Zealand ~ those really made the world seem like a small place. You're on my *someday* list, Kelly! ;-)
Not a blogger, but I love Burkholders!
ReplyDeleteDo you live in Lancaster County??(Or nearby??) I live about 20 minutes from Burkholder's- 15 if I am "on a mission"!! Sometimes it's a bit too close!!
DeleteI so agree with you that blogging is the best for meeting people all over the world. I've met a few people in real life. I hope I get to catch up with you one day! Those fabrics are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThis line of fabrics is fabulous! I as well agree about blogging and meeting people, it's so enriching!
ReplyDeleteIt is so fun to blog and become online friends with other kindred bloggers. I have met one blogger friend in person and met friends (at a quilt show) of a blogger that I follow. It is so FUN!
ReplyDeleteI have met a few blogging buddies over time and every meeting has been special to me.
ReplyDeleteCute fabrics.
Yummy fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI've met lots of on-line friends through blogging, and I've even met a few fellow bloggers in Real Life. You're right - it's so much fun! I had no idea when I started blogging just how much fun this would be! I'd love to meet you one day too, Kelly.
I'm not a blogger, but I've met some Flickr friends.And Burkholder's!!! I need to NOT go there so much! When I do, I am always looking at the other ladies, just wondering... OK- could I possibly "know" you from online??!!
ReplyDeleteThat's so true about blogging, I've been lucky enough to meet quite a few in the flesh too. I'm loving the colours of your new fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI've had several people come up to me and say how much they enjoy my blog - such a thrill. But I've also made a lovely friend in Scotland, who has just been out to Australia for a visit with me. Sooooo special! Love, love, love your new fabrics - swoonable!!
ReplyDeleteSome of my best friends I've made online. It's a great way to get over shyness, geography and timezones. :)
ReplyDeleteOf course you had to meet in a fabric store. There was no other option. And look at the wonderful end result!
ReplyDeleteNever personally met anyone through the blogging community, but I do enjoy the community tremendously.:) Your fabrics are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteKelly, it was wonderful to meet you as well. I am so happy you were able to drive out and meet us in the middle of a corn fiend :) I find it amazing how just through typing away on this contraption we create wonderful friendships. I know we have more experiences to experiences in the future and look forward to all of them! Since starting in this great world of blogging and have the opportunity to travel. I have meet up with bloggers from all over the USA ,Europe and Australia--I love this quilty--blogging world!
ReplyDeleteI love your fabric, so nice and bright and happy.
ReplyDeleteAh!That Mimosa fabric line is so calling my name! Only silly flooding prevented my from meeting you, my on-line friend. That was such a bummer. I'd just met Mary (Molly Flanders) just days before. I've also spent time with both Cindy and Linda from our MCM Bee. So fun!
