I was telling another friend who is a non-quilter about our get together and she asked me "What is about the quilt stores that makes you all want to go there and shop together?" And I had a hard time answering her! Finally I said something about common interests drawing us together. But it's more than that isn't it--there's a special bond that draws us together in friendship and it's very hard to explain it to a non-quilter. I guess we "see" things in fabric that other people just don't "see"--we can visualize what some piece of material will become and we dream about it together and that draws us closer. Very hard to explain and put into words, isn't it?! Maybe someone should write a book about it and explain it to all of us--maybe someone already has!!!
Let quilting help you make someone smile!

I think........that the feelings we love when we are wrapped up in a quilt are the same feelings we get from friendships.
At least, that is part of it for me.
What cute "chicks"!
Visiting quilt shops always brings me a warm and cozy feeling and I sense that the other shoppers also feel the same. Quilting friends are the best!!!
Sequana--I agree--we feel warm and safe wrapped in the quilt and in the friendship!
NanaK--thanks and you are right--I treasure all my friendships with other quilters!
I agree Jan. Going to the LQS with quilty friends is much more fun than going alone. Some of those "Does this work together" questions are answered even before you ask them.
