I'm sure there are quilters in England because every year I see dozens of ladies in Paducah at the quilt show who come over with a tour. Their nametag shows the cities they live in and they seem to be from all over the area, big cities and small towns alike. Keep looking. You are bound to find some near you. Good luck.

You are right about difficulties getting fabrics etc - but I have found over the years, that there are more quilters than you think! Maybe not in your village but probably not SO FAR away!
Do you drive? If so - may I suggest that you drive into just one or two quilters guild or Embroiderers guild meetings - you only have to go once or twice (I really DO know how hard it can be to drive miles for these things!) Once you are there, you are SURE to meet someone nearer to home and then you will at least have a buddy!!
If not - PM me anytime and I will be happy to be an Over the Irish Sea quilting buddy via email!!

Hi Bev - don't feel so isolated - there are plenty of us around. Unfortunately as I'm in N Ireland I'm not near you, but do check out magazines - I recommend Popular Patchwork - for lists of what's going on in the UK. PM me anytime and we can keep in touch.
