welcome from Illinois. I have a couple of cousins in the LA area, one North of LA and one in Huntington Beach. Neither are quilters though.

Welcome to the board from Ventura County. We did not feel the earthquakes today, but definitely heard about them. Our family felt them in Orange County.

Hi from the high desert. We felt it up here, so either I am waving to you, or the whole place is moving. ha It just rolled and rolled, haven't felt any aftershocks, just the original.

I was sitting in my chair at my sewing machine and my chair started moving, the chandilier started swinging and the hugh wind chimes in the house started chiming, but no damage. Been through the Whittier Narrows and Northridge quakes, too. I was at work several times when quakes hit and I work in a hospital. We have life vests to put newborn babies in and all the nurses grab one and put one on. It hold 4 babies each. That's all I could think about when they hit at work...save the babies and everyone responded well. A lot of brave and sensible people I work with.

Hey guys thanks for the greetings! Yeah, the quake was so weird. Completely new experience for me. The newborn life vests sound great! SAVE THE BABIESSSSS.

I'm putting up my avatar pic right after I post this. What do you think?

Hey have any of you done a photo quilt, the ones where you take a photograph and make a quilt with tiny mosaic squares that looks like the photo?
