    Several months ago I met Akrogirl on this board. We had several things in common and found that we both lived in AZ. We have met several times for lunch and are enjoying a new-found friendship thanks to the Board. Has anyone else met a Board member and developed a friendship?

    I have met nice people too...one lives where I do in Kewaunee WI but will be getting together with her now that she is back from Florida for the summer. Also, met a couple ladies on here in Green Bay WI and joined them for sewing when I was off on compensation. This is so nice to have and meet people. I also have many that I email back and forth. It is so nice.......

    Yes, I recently met two IRL when they were in my area at a LQS. I couldn't go with them as I had to attend a 60th birthday party. It was so kind of them to be my escape plan!! *giggles*

    I've met several virtually and am enjoying their company in cyberspace. A few of them are close enough to me geographically that I anticipate some GTGs, FARTs and dear knows what!! :)

    (you know who you are ladies ... though I won't mention names!!! .... you can though, if you wish!)

    I have met 2, dkabasketlady and Izaquilter. I love both of them and they are such a joy to hang out with. I have lost track of how many I have spoken to on the phone. Each time I talk to someone new it is as if we have known each other all our lives.

    yes, my quilting buddy Rose_P lives just a few miles from me -- we email most days and exchange ideas and pictures -- we get together when we can -- it's wonderful to have a friend with which to share quilting
