Sandy commented in her report on the Houston Quilt Show that although her usual traveling companion could not go Sandy never had to eat a meal alone. This reminded me of how lucky we are as quilters. Several of my friends who are widows complain about no longer having a traveling companion. As quilters there are many opportunities to travel with fellow quilters. If we don't know them at the beginning of the trip we will be good friends within a few hours. We can sign-up for a tour of New England seeing both the fall colors and area quilt shops. There are also cruises for quilters. There is a sign hanging in my studio which reads "I Never Met a Quilter I Didn't Like". OK so maybe you have had a bad experience or two but in general we can go any place where quilters are gathered and find friends.
