Welcome from Southern California! My mother's father's parents were from Switzerland, also. I need to find out exactly where. No one is sure when my great grandfather came over, but my great grandmother came over in 1892.
This is a fun site - hopefully you will enjoy it too.

Thanks everybody for the warm welcome! I'm sure I'll enjoy spending time with you virtually! 
I've worked with exchange students as well, there are some great programmes! We had one girl from Argentina whose ancestors came from the Vaud/Wallis region (she still had the last name) and she did some research on them as well. Let me know when your daughter ever comes to Switzerland, I might be able to give her a few pointers (and we also have a sofa bed, just in case! 
)!
I haven't sewn any garments in years. But that's ok, I don't really follow patterns anyway, I enjoy to make them up myself!
Yes, please do find out! Wouldn't it be fun to find out that we're somehow distantly related? (Slim chance though, I guess!)

If you have been a garment sewer, then you will do fine following directions for a quilt.
