How fun! When I move back to New Zealand later this year, I’m going to try and create this kind of crafty community (if it’s not already there). After spending half my 20s living in L.A., goodness knows I’m going to need the friends!

Angela, I think the one of the easiest ways to figure it out is to connect with some locals online. You’ve already got a connection and stiff in common.

Thanks for stopping by today!

So cool, Tara! It must have been so fun to see each other in “real life!” I’m envious of the community you’ve built. I’ve just moved to Sammamish, WA from Portland, OR and I’m still trying to find some local crafty peeps!

That sounds amazing. I would love to be apart of something like that sometime. Soon, I’m just figuring all this stuff out still.

It truly is amazing how we connect to people all around the world in just the click of a button.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi there my Friends in Pennsylvania–I stumbled upon Scoutie Girl on FB today and wound up here. I’m so jealous of your F2F gathering and time to craft! I grew up in Chester County but live in eastern MA now. I wanted to tell you of a wonderful new quilt shop in Unionville that my *best* childhood friend opened last fall: Roundabout Quilting http://www.roundaboutquilting.com/. Andra Rudershausen, the owner, is a wonderful fabric artist and the shop is lovely, with plenty of sunny classroom space and clever ideas to inspire you. She doesn’t sell online (yet!) so you’ll have to take the trip: she’s at the crossroads of 842 and 82. Happy crafting!

Wow- this looks wonderful! I’m pretty new to the craft-scene and would love to hang out with some local crafters. I live west of Philly about 30 miles… would love to join in next time if this is open to all. Thanks for sharing!
