    What a great site! I'm interested in learning how to do hand appliqué. I've only ever made one king sized quilt (for my younger son's wedding) and a couple of baby quilts (for the grandchildren). However, I did once, several years ago, organize a Quilts for Kids group where the members recycled discontinued decorator material to make comfort quilts for kids in hospital with a life threatening illness or for those children in care who had been abused. I also grudgingly admit to having several unfinished quilting projects amongst which are a number of wall hangings that are semi-finished and that now have been "hanging around" for a very long time ;)

    Well Hello Florida! As an aspiring snowbird to various locations, I've spent some time enjoying your southern sunshine in recent years [St.Pete's and environs].

    Hello from Canada Anne! How lovely to hear from you -- I've been to county Meath -- looking for my kids ancestors [without a lot of luck, unfortunately].

    Hi! It's been awhile since I've been in Minnesota, but my husband's Norwegian relatives come from there. Do you really have a little bear in your back yard :?:
