It'll soon be 4 years since I joined this great forum. I love checking out "Introduce Yourself" posts but many times don't have time to respond. I often look up locations of towns I don't know, wondering where they are. I'm from Duluth and am wondering who on the board is located within about a 100-mile radius of me.

I am from Villard MN. That is about 15 miles south of Alexandria and about 50 miles west of St. Cloud.

Welcome from Texas - check Kuusistoquilter (my sister). She's in Duluth also.

Hi Ginny!
I'm from Inver Grove Heights, MN.
It is about 10 minutes from downtown St. Paul.
It's so fun to see all the people on the board...and where they are from! :)

Good Morning Ginny: I am from St. Paul, just a hop, skip and jump from Duluth - like three hours or so! We love the area up there. Have taken the Lake Shore trip up to Grand Marais many a-time! My husband carved our initials on the lighthouse on the pier not too far from the Lift Bridge! Do they still have the Hardee's up there. They had the BEST Hardee Huskee's. Our Hardee's down here doesn't even know what I am talking about, but that was probably about 40 years ago too.

On my way to show and tell at the local coffee shop "Espresso Royale" not far from me to meet my sister and we show each other what we have worked on since we have seen each other. I got a quilt put together so that will be strewn all over the floor there. She is from Danbury, Wisconsin and she does a lot of hand quilting - beautiful work too - and she shows me what she has done.

Enjoy your time here at the Quilting Board. It is great! Edie
