Hello Quilting Buddies,

Greetings from snowy Sitka, AK. I am new to the forum; have been a member of quilting guilds from Okinawa, Japan to, now, Sitka.
I am always seeking tips and good stories from those of you out there who know alot more than I do about quilting.
I'm looking forward to some quality time on-line with you all.
Look me up if ever you decide to take that Alaska Cruise! 8)

Regards,
Sitkaquilter

Welcome from Rhode Island.

A friend of mine went on an Alaskan cruise and stopped in Sitka and a quilt store. He bought me a table runner with Russian Santas on it. His wife wanted it but he still gave it to me for he knew how much I like quilts.

Hi and Welcome from Northern Indiana ! Everyone here is so friendly and helpful :lol: And we love pictures :wink:

Hi there, Southern Cal. I noticed that you are also the proud mom of two serving in the military. I am ex-Navy also and spent some time stationed in San Diego.
No, my boy isn't wet - he has one of those glossy black coats. Our two yellows just don't seem to have that same glow.
Thanks for your reply. Will keep those serving in our prayers.

Thanks for your reply. I used to hail from the Bremerton area when I was in the Navy. I know that quilt shop in P.A. pretty well from the Shop Hops!
Happy quilting,
Jeanette

Thanks so much for your reply. I spent some time exploring VA when I was stationed in that area about 12 years ago. Loved it there - the air seens softer, somehow.
Happy quilting,
Jeanette

Thanks for your welcome. What a beautiful little one!
Jeanette

Thanks for your reply, it is much appreciated!
Happy quilting, Jeanette

Welcome from the Sunshine State. Keep warm up there.

We're doing our best - we had 7 inches of snow last night and are expecting another foot over the weekend! Enjoy the sunshine for all of us :lol: :lol:

That's good to know .... I will be prepared to see some serious snow when driving the Alaska Hwy next week ..... :-)

welcome, i live in north dakota. I use to live in faribanks many years ago .

Hi Alaska,
I visited Alaska in 1997. I visited Sitka and fell in love with the city and people. I have a pen pal from Ketchikan. She is elderly and not well right now. I keep her in my prayers.
I love to quilt, but have slowed down, as have problems with my thumb. I enjoy hand quilting.
I hope to return to your fair state one day.
Enjoy and think spring!

Hello from Louisiana. Glad to have you aboard.

My husband plans to retire next year and we do want to come visit Alaska.

Hello, from Georgia,
We went on an Alaskan cruise last year. It was wonderful! We didn't stop in Sitka though. I bought some fabric in Ketchikan.{I think} I am making an attic windows quilt and backing it with fabric that was designed by an Alaskan artist. I have it on my new Grace quilting frame to hand quilt.

Welcome from Texas!

Wow. Alaska. I hear it is beautiful up there. Welcome to our site.

welcome, sitkaquilter, from mostly warm, sunny Florida. I get cold easy, so will definitely pass on a cruise to your town, lol. you'll love it here.

Hi Sitka,
I'm Muriel in Fairbanks. I've lived here almost all my life and still have not taken the cruise I sure would love to one day.
How long have you lived in Sitka? Nice to see someone else from Alaska on here.
