if you like flowers--Bitter Root (state flower) fireweed, sunflowers, shooting star. McKenna Ryan has numerous patterns with wild animals (iron-on, but you could easily make with hand applique). another snowy Montanan

My hubby grew up near Hartville in Amish country - between Akron & Canton. We lived near Alliance the 1st 4 years we were married. When he graduated from Kent State, he wanted to move back west - loves the mountains, clean air, hunting, fishing - we've been in NW Montana for 36 years. Still have family & friends in Ohio. Merry Christmas, Jan

Was your Gt Falls stint Air Force-related? I met my hubby while he was stationed at Malmstrom AFB. I grew up in Black Eagle - about 1/2 block from Borrie's & the 3-D Club. Washed dishes at 3-D as a kid, flipped burgers at Burgermaster as a teen, patient care as a student nurse at Deaconess. I like the wide open spaces around Gt Falls, but love being near Glacier Park past 36 yrs.
The people on this site have been terrific already - liking this site very much, Jan

Roundup - I worked in Billings as a travel nurse (Billings Deaconess Family Birth Center) a few years ago. MY daughter's ex has family in Rapeljay - isn't that near Roundup? I grew up in Black Eagle, by Great Falls, & have lived in the Flathead Valley near Kalispell for 36 yrs.
Yes, a great web site - I know I'll find answers to all my quilting questions here - I have much to learn. Christmas Blessings to you, Jan

I know I'm going to rely on this board for answers to many quilting questions.

My brother lives in Olivet - near Lansing. I lived in Ohio when we were first married - back in MT now for many years, but still travel through your neck of the woods to see family.
