Pam, while it isn't my favorite place by far, it is growing on me. This is our second tour here.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Hi Tabby, It is nice to have you on the board. I am a wife of an army chaplain. We actually have friends stationed over in Japan right now. Have a good time while you are there. Beth

Yes, Lebanon is out the back gate of Ft. Leonard Wood. We were there 5 yrs, but didn't travel much while there. The different military posts are so scattered & no idea where you'll go next. That was always unnerving until we actually knew where we'd be going. I hated Germany the first year, but after we started camping & traveling it was fun & interesting. We went to Venice, Italy, France, Luxembourg, & Holland. It's nice because we met so many nice people everywhere we went there.

I'm sure there are lots of neat places in Japan. You'll have to post pics for us to see points of interest you'll visit. Thanks.

Welcome from Illinois. Your oldest son and my daughter are the same age. Enjoy your time in Japan. Where are you originally from?

I took my first quilting class in October of last year and have been hooked! I can't remember how I found this message board but I am glad I did!

Where is the best place to post pics of fabric for help with a Bargello quilt? I plan on using Barb_Mo's tutorial.

Thanks and I look forward to meeting you all and sharing in this passion!
