Welcome to this great group - I am kind of a newbie and I just love all the ideas and warmness I get from reading the postings. Only problem is I spend way to much time on the site - but Oh! Well! may as well enjoy life you only go around once.

FROM LOUISE: Check out our hometown website at www.Manningia.com the place of a Hausbaun moved from Germany piece by piece. Site called Hausbaun Heritage Park. I think you all will enjoy check it out. In case you don't know it is a building where the families and their animals lived. I have more inside pictures. Let me know. Have a great day.

Welcome from another St. Paulite!!!!!!!! You will do just fine. I learned on my own and have been quilting for about 11 years now. #1 husband just bought me a quilting frame from JoAnn's. I am having a hoot. Now I just have to learn how to hand quilt on a frame instead of a hoop. GO VIKES - GO TWINS!!!!!! GO HAWKEYES! Edie
