Welcom from Iowa! You should come to the AQS Quilt Show in Des Moines, Iowa Sept. 28 - Oct. 1 (or one of the other shows). The show is great and they have a huge vendor fair.

Hi Karin,

En lille dansk hilsen skal du ha' her på den amerikanske side.
Okay this was the scandinavian "hello". Denmark and Sweden two relative small countries in the north of Europe.
Not to forget Sweden i the 3rd largest country in Europe with only 9,4 mill. people. So a lot of nature - without interfrences.
Sweden is a dream country if you would like forest, peace, quilt, humanity and "warm" people.
This come from a danish - nabour - person

Welcome to the United States and especially to Northern California. I have a new great grand daughter in Vaxjo so maybe you could bring little Molly with you! My oldest grandson lives there with his wife, and now Molly, of course.

Some of my quilts live there too.

Welcome again.

Welcome from Pennslyvania.

Hi Karin and welcome from New Jersey. Depending on where your U.S. travels take you one place I'd recommend is the Lancaster PA area. Lots of quilts on display, lots of good fabric stores, seeing the Amish people and how they live is interesting. Post your travel plans when they are made and you'll have loads of suggestions.

Welcome from western Washington state! My husband is half Swedish and half Norwegian, talking about being in conflict, ja!

What I have heard from people visiting the U.S. for the first time is that they did not realize it is so big and takes so long to get from one place to another. So concentrate on one area and it will be more fun and relazing for you.

I think Pennsylvania is a great place to visit for quilting, too, as the above poster mentioned. Wherever you go you will find wonderful quilt shops and other quilters.

Welcome from Portage, Michigan. My great grandparents were born in Sweden and I have been trying to find more information about them. They emigrated to Minnesota in the ? late 1800's. Their last name was Abrahamson.

Right now I'm making up plans for a visit to the US in January 2012 together with my husband. It's my first visit to The States, and I want to visit The National Quilt Museum in Paducha, KY, but there must be a lot of other "quilter's must do" in the US....?

Regards
Karin :-D

Welcome, and hope you have a great time here in the states - do you have family here? My grandparents on moms side came from Sweden.
