How many Iowegians?
#21
I was born and raised in Iowa. Left there when I was 21 and haven't been back except for short visits. My family and my in laws are all there. I have to say it is very pretty up there, but I like the Oklahoma climate better. Suits my joints better in the winter. I love to go to Grinnell Fiberworks when I get back there. I have promised myself next trip I am going to Winterset to Fons and Porter's store. Hmmm, I feel a trip coming on.

I grew up in Iowa--born in Milo (not on the map!) went to school in Chariton and high school in Des Moines. I flew back to Des Moines this summer to visit brother and sister. I was the youngest of 13. I also have an older sister living in assisted living in Cedar Rapids. We drove over to see her with a nephew and a niece. She was overwhelmed and cried a lot. She had a very big collection of quilt tops (4 were hand pieced by my mother who died in 1970) and the others she got at estate sales, etc. I had them shipped home and will send pics when I get there. I am so thrilled with them. I now live in California.
