Many years ago I attended a lecture where the speaker referred to our world as a 'Global Village'! Attending the lecture were people from 25 different countries! Meeting people from far flung countries certainly makes our world feel smaller!
More recently I'm experiencing the same global community among quilting bloggers. Today I got to meet a quilting blogger from Australia!

She has made this wonderful quilt in Australian Flora fabrics, and she also showed us her in-progress wedding ring quilt, being sewn by hand!
Isn't it wonderful how complete strangers can become instant friends over the commonality of quilting!
Thank you Marie for taking the short hop across the world to meet me (*wink *wink!).
And you can find out more about Marie's creative makes here on her blog.
Happy Friday!

ReplyDeleteHow lovely that quilting brings together people from right round the world. Nice photo of you both (Hope you don't mind me saying that you look younger in this one than in your profile picture - though that is lovely too!)
ReplyDeleteThe blogging quilty community is just the best. Di x
ReplyDeleteThat quilt looks fabulous. The quilting community is certainly the best
ReplyDeleteWhat everyone else said, I come to realise more and more what a great community it is, and I love being part of it :o)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo and this one of the great things about online communities that transfer offline

ReplyDeleteJudith ........firstly my apologies as my comment didn't appear to go through. Thank you soooo.......oh much for allowing me to attend your beautiful class and share a coffee with you. It was fabulous to meet you in person and all the lovely ladies that you were teaching. It gave me a boost to be surrounded by fellow quilters and I just loved all the beautiful work that was going on. Thankyou for referencing my blog. I am back in the land down under after a wonderful trip catching up with family and friends. Thankyou for making it special Marie xxx
