Hello from upstate New York. I love to quilt. Love applique, but am working on a patchwork Apple Blossoms at the present. Just came across this quilting board today and think it is wonderful. I grew up in Lousiana (a wonderful place) and have many happy memories between DeRidder and Sugartown, LA I met my husband in DeRidder at a corner soda fountain. Is anyone famaliar with the larger thread quilting. Like crochet cotton? Can't find any info in my books or magazines. So long for now----------wolle2

Hello Vicki, I was raised in Houma. I have a lot of family that way. In Bayou Black , Little Cague, Mantagau. I don't know how to spell the towns , hope you can make it out.Good talking to ya. Have a nice day.

Hello from Tn, I'm new here just wanted to say hello

Hello, and thank you

Hello to all the new folks, from North Carolina coast, I'm 2 hours from Raleigh-2hours from Myrtle Beach, SC, and smack dab on the beach. I loved the beach so much when my kids were little and I was young...now I'm to old to sunbathe, but I do love it. The roar of the ocean, the crash of the waves, and the bluest blue skies!!

I have been to Louisiana when my son was stationed there with the Army. I've been through all the places mentioned so far. That's so cool to know where you're talking about.

I lived in Kittery, Maine for three years, too, then Green Bay, Wis. for three years, then here to NC where I stopped to smell the sea and never left. lol lol

Hope to get to know all of you better!!
