Started a reply and lost it, but wanted to say hello and thanks for the Carol Doaks reference. Love storing knowledge.

Hello, Northern California: Can I come stay there until it warms up here?

Welcome from Michigan.

Hey, Tennessee: Do you still play the "Tennessee Waltz" there as much as they play "Yellow Rose of Texas" here?
Great day here to stay in and quilt.

"Is there really a Kalamazoo?" Bet you've heard that too many times in your life. Use to live in Northern Indiana and went to Michigan often. Totally miss good cherries and apples and the lakes and wonderful summers.

I tried to send you a link to Carol Daok's yahoo group but administration wouldn't let me.

I just put her name in my browser and it brought up a few names and by trial and error I got to her site and the free patterns. Thankful.

Hello and welcome from Ontario.

Hello Ontario:

I totally appreciate all the warm welcomes I've received. Perfect day here to get wrapped up, get some hot tea, and get on line and make new quilting friends.

Welcome from Ireland
