I don't know a couple of their names, but we all know things about each other and support each other. We support each others work and creativity. I know they would do anything I asked of them, and I would do the same for all of them. They are fun, funny strong women!trudys_personhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11764674203434410754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-38866543019656159022008-11-15T13:38:00.000-05:002008-11-15T13:38:00.000-05:00Sounds wonderful.Miss you come home soon.~~Fran......Sounds wonderful.<BR/>Miss you come home soon.<BR/><BR/>~~Fran...:c)Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860768880463962562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-67607803994585854092008-11-13T19:35:00.000-05:002008-11-13T19:35:00.000-05:00Bonnie I just looked at a blog from Wisconsin wher...Bonnie I just looked at a blog from Wisconsin where you recently held a workshop - http://patsyquiltretreat.blogspot.com/ she posted some wonderful pictures of your trip there.

She called herself a quilt groupie! She just wanted to be part of the group but here hands were too bad to do any quilting. She was just happy hanging out!YankeeQuilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324287185970922332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-64890331671352604162008-11-10T12:53:00.000-05:002008-11-10T12:53:00.000-05:00And Illinois loved having you here!! :)I loved me...And Illinois loved having you here!! :)<BR/><BR/>I loved meeting you and felt like meeting a great friend.

I get teary just reading your articulation of it. <BR/><BR/>It is "villagedom" the ancient men of the species would have tramped aorund from place to place ad nauseum unless some woman somewhere put her foot down and said "hey you know if I am going to follow you all over the world I want some company okay??" So campfires, cooking, and the village (mobile or not) become a reality. <BR/>Now we are isolated in many other ways but quilting still draws like minded souls together like magnets (or if you are into physics the law of attraction), and now we have the internet making the world smaller and more intimate again. But nothing beats a good chin wag while you sew!!<BR/><BR/>have a fabulous weekend Bonnie<BR/><BR/>daisymumAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12934325999406252726noreply@blogger.com
