Quilt shops in Oklahoma?

Is anyone here from Oklahoma? What do you do here in Oklahoma for quilting
inspiration? I am looking for quilt shops in central OK. I moved here from
CA. in August last year and it seems like I'm alone here on a quilter's
island. I miss my quilting friends. I miss the weekly stitching/crafting
meetings at Laurie G's house (Hi Laurie)
I know I can order supplies thru catalogs and online, but I want to walk thu
rows of quilt fabrics and quilting books and patterns. I wan't to touch the
fabrics and see them in person. I want to sit around sewing with other
quilters and go to quit shows.
Aren't there big quilt shows in Texas and Kentucky (Paducah?) every year?
Where can I get information about them?
Thanks

Karen

As a former Okie... I can swear that there are kind hearted, quilt loving
people there ;-) Can you give a bigger hint than central?? Like a major
city you might be close to? Tulsa has a ton of stores and large show every
year. Same with Oklahoma City. There is Green Country Quilters Guild
somewhere there. And a weekly meetin at Laurie G's house?? Heck I would
miss that too and I've never even been to it vbg

Hi Marcella
Thank you for your response.
Why does it seem so strange? Have you ever lived in OK? Yes, I have looked
for something and not been able to find it. Sometimes I am looking for a
fabric to go in a quilt and I have an idea in mind about what I am looking
for. Yesterday I went looking for backing fabric for a baby quilt. I
couldn't find what I wanted so I ended up piecing a backing together.
I am in Blanchard. The nearest big city is Oklahoma City. It is about a 40
minute drive to down town OKC. There is a very small quilt shop in Norman,
which is about 20 minutes away. The next closest one is in OKC. Then
Hennessey. That's a fairly new shop, but they have lots of fabrics there.
That one is 88 miles away.
Then Mapquest shows
Enid - 127 miles away
Tulsa - 132 miles away
Broken rrow - 143 miles away
Newkirk - 145 miles away
Tahlequah - 189 miles away
Thank you very much for the link to the quilt guilds. I see that there are a
few within an hour's drive of me. I will definitely check them out :-)

I am in Blanchard OK. About 40 minutes south of down town OKC.
Unfortunately, Tulsa is two hours away. Maybe I am just spoiled from being
in CA. I am hoping that if I joiin a quilt guild I will be able to find out
where more quilt shops are. Maybe I just haven't given it enough time here.
Yeah, I think I really must be spoiled.

Living in the wide open spaces has its advantages and disadvantages. Clean
air, shorter job commutes vs. long distances between quilt shops and no
friends to road trip with yet. Bummer. Keep trying and you'll hook up with
someone with your interests. I've heard (and experienced) that it takes
about two years to get comfortable after a move. Good luck!
You have this cyberguild to hang with in the meantime.
