Hi Michigan and Welcome,
I'm originally from the far western end of the Upper Peninsula, Bessemer...so that makes me a Yooper...now residing in Northwest Indiana...Valparaiso...so that makes me a Hoosier. While living in the UP I learned to weave rugs on big floor looms, and here in Indiana I have learned quilting. Both are my passion, along with real estate too. Glad you found Quilting Board...this is one awesome group of quilters sharing and caring.
