Blogging

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?

    Oh 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!

    That Mimosa line was made for you!
    Yes, 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! ;-)

    I 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!!

    It 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!

    Yummy fabrics!

    I'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??!!

    That'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!

    I'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!!

    Some of my best friends I've made online. It's a great way to get over shyness, geography and timezones. :)

    Of course you had to meet in a fabric store. There was no other option. And look at the wonderful end result!

    Ah!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!
