Welcome from Florida and hope that you're well soon :D

I'm in Des Moines myself (over by Drake). You know there's a quilt show in Ankeny next weekend, right, at the Bible College?

welcome from philly, pa. you've reminded me, i need to get my shingles shot! so sorry you're dealing with it! glad you found us. hope we can provide some relief and diversion. feel better soon!

Hello and welcome from Japan!!!

Welcome from NE Iowa! Take your pills!! I've had shingles 4 times and they are not fun! I hope you are not in too much pain! Enjoy this board...it's fun and educational!!

Hi--feeling much better this morning so guess I've survived this ordeal. Am wondering if you might know Gene and Doris Sieck from Maynard. They are a part of our Army friends group that has been meeting every year for about 58 yrs nows.

Good morning---and yes, I know about the Ankeny quilt show and plan to attend. Can't wait to see all the beautiful things from the talented quilters around this area. Always find lots of fat quarters to add to my stash, too.

Hello and welcome!

sew wishful, I used to live in West Union too.

yes, I'm going to the quilt show in Ankeny Sat. afternoon, but a friend is taking me so I'm not sure what time we'll be around! It's usually a good show IMO b/c you can get up close--unlike at the State Fair or even the DMAQG show.

Wish I lived closer!
