I live in Central Minnesota, born and raised in Minnesota. Have started quilting a couple of years ago, but have not yet completed anything other than a few table runners. Have read this message board and really appreciate the information given. Thanks to all.

Hi and welcome from the sunny state of Florida!!

Welcome from the northern suburbs! I grew up in central MN and my parents still live out that way. You are going to love it here!

Welcome to the quiltingboard, you will find it totally amazing and truly additive. There is a wealth of knowledge here to gain from and contribute to. If you have a suggestion sing out, if you have a question sing out. We are glad you are here.

Hi back to everyone. There seems to be such a wide cross section of the world on here and I am looking forward to learning more.

Hi from N central IA, almost in MN. I think you will really learn a lot on this board, I know I have.

Hi from Pensacola Florida. Welcome to the board.

Hello and Welcome to the board :D:D:D

Good Morning and welcome from the Capitol City~! Was it not the most beautiful day yesterday to be a Minnesotan? I sat out on the patio, basking in the sun, binding a quilt with the dog at my feet, birds singing and neighbors hollering "Whatcha making now, Edie?" "Quilt for granddaughter's graduation." (Sure beats rain for practically every day for a week and totally void of sunshine!)

You will love the Quilting Board as it gives you more information than the brain can absorb. It is funny, compassionate, it actually can give you guts to forge ahead when you are ready to drop the whole mess and give up. You don't because all of these super people would probably chew your knee caps off.

Enjoy the day, enjoy the Board - enjoy. Edie

Welcome from Delaware! You're gonna like it here!

Welcome from another Minnesotan. (Carver County) I have learned so much on here already. You will love all the people, projects and tried & true advice. I know I do.

Hi Mary, welcome to the board from Central Nebraska! Hope you enjoy being with us! You will find so many great things here!

Welcome from a No Florida girl who is moving to Minnesota.

Hey, you're going to love it here. When are you moving up and where are you moving to? Save your money - you will need long johns, down jackets, heavy woolen mittens and that is only for up to September!!!!! Only kidding. Edie

Welcome from Tucson, Az. but will be moving to Central Mn. as soon as my house sells.

What's with people moving from the warm climes to the god-forsaken tundra of Minnesota??????? Just goes to prove - you gotta have some good icy freezy, bone-chilling, eyebrow frosted, toe tingling, Sorel boots, down jackets, ear warmers, wool socks and hot cocoa (with mini-marshmallows), not to mention muscles for shoveling snow, chopping ice, raking the snow off the roof weather to appreciate the summer, which lasts about ------------------that long! Only kidding. Minnesota is a wonderful state - it's full of Germans and Swedes. There is really a lot of stuff going on here. The State Fair is right in the center of St. Paul, we have the Winter Carnival, Minneapolis has one for the summer (where they have boat races with the boats made out of gallon milk cartons - and to be honest I don't know if they still do that), we have the science museum, the Taste of Minnesota, casinos, horse racing, art museums, MOA (been there once - that was enough). You will enjoy our State - it is beautiful in the Autumn - some areas are absolutely breathtaking - the trip from St. Paul up to Duluth and farther up to Gooseberry Falls, the Boundary Waters, Ely, Minn. and we are not far away from Wisconsin, about 1/2 hour! And the people are wonderful - helpful, kind, fun - oh there are the nasties, but every place has that, enjoy your new life in Minnesota - it is fun to know the cities in Minnesota that quilting board members are from - so be sure and let us know. Happy packing, safe trip up here and enjoy. Edie

Hi,
I live in Blaine, MN. Some of us Minnesotans are going to meet in St. Cloud for the quilt show in June so if you're here and can make it we'd love to meet you.

Hey, our son and daughter in law lived in Shakopee for ten years. Just moved a few months ago. Nice area, Shakopee! Good quilting store there, she says. Edie

When and where in St. Cloud?

Maryv,
It's June 17-19 at the Civic Center. I'm sending you the link. http://www.mnquilt.org
I'm going to send you a pm.

Hi from SW MN, maryv! Glad to have you here!

Welcome to you as well, Up4BigChal! I see you are also new here! One of our daughters and her family live in Shakopee (nope, she's not a quilter...maybe I can teach my little GD if I sense an interest...) and another daughter lives in St. Paul

Here is another welcome from SW MN. Wood Lake to be more specific. And another quilter that had a daughter that used to live in Shakopee. This is the best place to come for information, photos to inspire and anything else you need for quilting. I find that I sometimes forget to get off the computer and get back to quilting ;)
