I just started reading posts & am happy to find so many photos and 'tips'. Have only been quilting a couple years & have lots to learn, but I love every minute of it.

Hi Gina and welcome too from our great state of AK. Where are you? I am on the Kenai Peninsula. There are a few of us here from AK.

Gina_D 08-29-2010 09:48 AM

Hi Fran - I'm in Anchorage. All this rain is great for quilting. I've found some pretty neat fabric down on the peninsula. I went to the quilt 'walk' in Soldotna last summer - amazing!

Hi Gina...I am fairly new on the board too. You are going to love this site. So much info on here and beautiful pictures of so many quilts!!
I lived in Alaska for 31 years. Mostly in Anchorage. I took lots of quilt classes while there. Quilting really does help one through the long winters up there.
I live in western WA now and this is quilting country here too.
Enjoy your new found hobby...your going to love it I know!

A big welcome from Orlando, Florida. My DH and I spent 16 days in Alaska on one of the most beautiful trips we ever made. We did everything but never got to see Mt. McKinley because of fog. Even in Denali Park.

Gina_D 08-31-2010 09:15 AM

Lots of people never see Denali - it's like the northern lights: I lived up here for years before actually seeing them! Now I don't stay up late enough to look for them. And I can see Denali from the highway in Anchorage on a clear day. And the Bore tide is another thing that you rarely get to see - I've seen it maybe 3 times in 30 years!

Welcome from Maine! You will enjoy this QB very much, I spend hours on here looking at the beautiful work and meeting such lovely people here. I've been to Alaska three yrs ago, left Maine in May and got back home the end of Aug. We r planning another trip within the next 2 yrs. I loved it there. What a breathtaking state. Every day was full of every adj. you can think of!!!! OMG, Beautiful, beautiful area you live in. Lot like Maine.

Gina_D 08-31-2010 03:31 PM

I'd love to visit Maine someday. Was there 20 some years ago, but didn't explore; just passing through. One day..

shufer1 08-31-2010 04:10 PM
