Love the quote. And totally understand wherever one lives there are challenges andI appreciate I have an an idealised view but I cherish it and if I feel if had a wraparound porch I could cope with anything , apart from Erin ( the 2nd eldest daughter ) ha ha . Thankyou so very much for taking the effort to welcome me , I really appreciate it x

Oh Thankyou , I have many relatives who live in Canada. Thankyou so very much for taking the effort to reply to me , it means so much . now I just haven't learn how to post some pics , aagh I am slightly nervous of displaying my efforts X

a girl after my own heart , great that even though we live thousands of miles apart we all remember and have very fond memories of waltons mountain .

But quilting gives me an essence of grandma, but I can't get my hubbie into a pair of grandpa's dungarees .. Thankyou very much for the lovely welcome , it means so much X

Welcome to the wonderful world of the Quilting Board from the Pacific Northwest. (Vancouver Washington)

Hello from Michigan! And we love all the picture posting here..no quilt police!

Hi Mrs M I mostly lurk here, but I'm in the UK too so wanted to say hi :wave:

Waving a big hello and welcome from Washington! :)

Welcome from Southern California. I always wanted to visit your country since both of my Great Great Grandfathers on my Dad's side immigrated from England in the 1850s. I would trade Walton's mountain for Downton Abbey any day of the week! I hope you find the same terrific inspiration that I find here at the QB.

Welcome, Mrs. M. Our family watched The Waltons every Thursday night for years! I always wanted a big family, a big table, a handy hubby , and live music in the house. I have four kids, one named Ben, a big table, a handy hubby and sometimes he plays guitar. The pianist and drummer is grown and gone. I never paid attention to the quilts. I was eyeing Jason! My sister pointed out that I married a guy who looks like him! And his mom looked like Olivia Walton! All subconscious things that I smiLe about in hindsight. Welcome to the Board.

Goodnight, Mary Ellen!
