Time to introduce myself!

Greetings from a very windy, cold, snowy Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We are in the midst of a nasty cold spell like most of the midwest. Oh well, more time for quilting!

I don't miss many days checking the BB but never post - time for a change! I'll keep this first message short - I don't want to get long-winded and have the post disappear.

I just made a small quilt with 30s fabrics fromthe cover of a recent APQ magazine. I have the pleasure of being a long arm quilter and the quilt is loaded on the frame downstairs. I can hear it calling to me. When it's done I'll try to post a picture.

Stay warm!

    Susan, where are you in the UP? My DH grew up in the Houghton/Hancock area and has never lost his Yooper accent, even though he hasn't lived there for 50 years.

    Pat,
    I live in Ironwood, at the far west end of the peninsula, in the heart of "Big Snow Country". My husband and I lived in Houghton for about 12 years and still go there occasionally for Tech sporting events and to see friends.
    My brother teases me about my Yooper accent which I guess I've acquired after 28 years in the UP. I'm a Minnesota transplant.
    Does your husband still have family in Houghton?
