Thanks ladies! I'm looking forward to chatting with you all! I'm in NE PA. Right where NY, NJ, and PA meet.

Welcome to the board Bearpaw from Southern California.

Hi Bearpaw! Your nick is one of my favorite patterns.

Welcome bearpaw! That is one of my favorite patterns! I might live close to you. I am in orange county, NY. An hour or so from shohola, PA. I love Lancaster County. Love love love it.

Welcome from N California, Bearpaw!

Welcome from Washington...... Glad to see you joined us

Thanks for all the welcomes! :D
I really like the bear paw pattern too. Haven't made one yet, it's on my "to do" list.
There's a really pretty pattern at the McCalls website for a bear paw quilt

The only thing that scares me is: "The great expanses of white fabric leave ample room for displaying intricate quilting skills". Not too sure about my "quilting skill"!!

Hi from Mass. I give most of my quilts away also. I only have two.
