Introduction from Polly Esther

Welcome, Polly:

There's always room for another one in the Stitching corner.

MargW (from a thousand miles north of you)

Welcome to our world. There's an open invitation for visits to my place, but you will have to share your half of the loveseat with my little Maltese, and he takes up a lot of room.

Lucille from Florida, where the rest of the alligators live. Even though I don't live in a swamp, with the stormy weather the last few days it certainly looks like it.

Welcome Polly. Just be prepared -- we are a bit more boisterous over here in Needlework than the fine people in Quilting :-). Either way, I can guarantee that the folks here will LOVE to be regaled by stories of the 'gators and their preferred diet -- LOLOL. CiaoMeow >^;;^<

Met a Maltese like that at a family reunion recently. Not exactly sure how he was kin but he was indeed a sitter. Didn't matter who was sitting, the Maltese was beside them squeezing them over so he could be perfectly comfortable. Polly

"Lucille" Welcome to our world. There's an open invitation for visits to my place,

Thank you, Mary. I did notice when one of you declared that a staircase was an appropriate chew toy for an 8 month-old puppy. Polly

"Tia Mary" Welcome Polly. Just be prepared -- we are a bit more boisterous over

We're not really sure where we are. Close to Mobile AL but pay land taxes to Mississippi. Oh my yes, New Orleans does have all varieties of visitors. We used to love to simply sit on a park bench there and people watch. That is quite a show. Polly

"Olwyn.Mary" So whereabouts are you? I, too, am a Katrina survivor, but I live above

My first thought when I started reading your post was that a long lost classmate of my husband's had resurfaced. None of us knew her middle name was Esther until graduation. Poor Polly. I don't know what her parents were thinking.

Welcome! I'm making sweet tea this morning. That should go well with the banana nutbread.

A thousand miles? I do hope it is cooler there. We had a cold snap yesterday with the temperature dropping to 96°. Polly

"MargW" Welcome, Polly:

Welcome Polly. I'm nowhere near any alligators except for those in the Pgh Zoo and Aquarium. Sounds like you'll fit in fine.

Nancy in Pgh, City of Champions.

That's my Crown Prince, a.k.a. Puff.

Hi Polly, I think I know you from another group - yarns maybe?

I'm Cheryl, the hockey mom.....

Cheryl

Welcome, Polly. Great nickname. Looking forward to hearing about your stitching adventures, and anything else.

Welcome, Polly. I thought I 'recognized' you from RCTQ. I onlyl urk over there, as I seldom have anything to contribute by way of quilt topics, and occasionally butt in here with comments or silliness, as these nice people kindly put up with me. You'll enjoy it here, I am sure. Regards, Carey in MA

Could be, Cheryl. I visited over at yarns when Patton temporarily quit making my favorite, Beehive I think it was. They helped me stalk every source. Nice people. Polly

"Cheryl Isaak" Hi Polly,

Smack, smack, smack Cheryl !!! You absolutely must stop identifying yourself that way! Why not be Cheryl the Gardener, Cheryl the Stitcher - well anything else !

I thought the same thing...that job is going to end and she'll need another identifier!

Oh, definitely cooler - I just checked and Map Quest says we are actually 1419 driving miles from our place to New Orleans.

I'm in Picton, Ontario on the north side of Lake Ontario.

It's only 64 F here right now. That is cool for this time of the year, but we've been having rain the last couple of days.

MargW

There Cheryl, two of us can't be wrong !!!

Ok - lets just go with Cheryl the tired - I'll be needing all of you over the next few months. More later
