Hi everyone. I'm new here. I love to create, sew, and the quiet beauty of the lakes and the woods here in northern Minnesota. I have 5 grandchildren, 4 boys and 1 girl, thank you Lord. They are my biggest blessings in life. I've looked around a wee bit and am excited at the prospect of learning lots from everyone here. I'm thrilled to have found such a wonderful site.

Welcome from Beavercreek, Oregon!!

Sadiemae in Idaho, thank you so much for welcoming me. I went through a small portion of Idaho on the freeway on our way to Seattle. Mark was driving and I in the passenger seat and the 3 kids in the back sleeping. Well I thought it would be fun to play a little joke to liven things up so I shouted, "there's a bear". Everyone clamored to see saying, where, where?? As you might guess, no one enjoyed the joke but me. It still brings a smile whenever Idaho is brought up or on the news.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Hello Patti from SW Iowa,

Thank you for your welcome. You live in a state that seems to get it's fair share of storms and bad weather. I love our state with all it's lakes and our four seasons. Lived in Arizona for
2 1/2 years and saw a lot of beauty in the Southwest, but one doesn't REALLY know what it's like till you live there. You think every day sunny with low humidity & 80 degrees...wonderful.
Hmmm ... I missed the wind, I missed the rain, I missed the sound of rustling leaves in the fall blowing on the pavement and the smell of them when you burn, and yes I missed the snow!

Hi Grand Marais and fellow Minnesotan :thumbup:

Love all these welcome messages. I've been to Grand Marais on several occasions, but not for a long time. Do they have any good quilt shops there?? My sister-in-(crime) law and I do our own shop hops when we get together. If they got a bunch of nice shops up your way, we just might be enticed your way??!! :idea: Maybe meet for coffee, lunch, or ... ??

Cheryl from not as far north Minnesota ...lol

Welcome!! Love Paul Wellman's book on Lake of the Woods fishing camp,and always wanted to visit there. But life took me South, after Alaska, and now back in the lovely Missouri country life. I have learned a lot from this board and meet many nice, lovely, wonderful people through their replies on this board.

Welcome from central MN - St. Cloud. It's very easy to spend lots of time here checking out all sorts of things. Don't let it take too much time away from your quilting.

Welcome to the board from Southern California!!!

Hello Quilting Nina Sue from Missouri,

Thank you for the warm welcome. I am envious because I so want to go to Alaska. Minnesota is beautiful with all of our lakes and you would love it. I've not been to Missouri but would love to go there one day. I love the lay of the land and traveling the backroads. We have such beauty right here in the Great United States.
