Born and raised in DBQ and moved to Waterloo in 96 to help my daughter with babysitting. I left my beloved DBQ for Grandbabies. A good trade but I sure miss the bluffs.
Found bike trails and quilting after moving to Waterloo and now 4 miles south in Washburn. I have designed and quilted 8 quilts for a very good friend's children and grandchildren plus several others. My friend had embroidered the State Birds to make a quilt for herself and husbaand and I was to help her make the quilt but saddly she passed away before we got started and her husband gave me the squares while she was in nursing home. I created the 1st quilt for her and she used the quilt altho she wasn't aware it was her birds, and then I was in the process of making 3 for her children. At her wake her youngest grandson said But I don't have a bird to remember gramma so I took one bird out of the Mothers and Dad's quilt and substituted a block of one of her pastimes like tea cups and teapots and Cubs Logo to fill in the empty areas. I have the last two to quilt yet. Turned out great. Everbody loves their quilts. Love to quilt. Illsa

Sioux City here. We have a neat quilting group which originated at my former workplace. Coworkers moved here and there and continued in the group, inviting friends and relatives. We now have a group consisting of members in Florida, Wisconsin and Hawaii, along with Nebraska and Iowa. We are on our third scrap quilt. Doing a Roman Square in red, white and blue and an extra one to donate.
Always room for another one if you are in the area and interested.

Hello, Sioux City, we live in Marcus, about forty miles away. Do you meet at member's homes, or a public place? We have a small group, so we meet in homes. Your quilt sounds like fun, on alternate years we donate a quilt to an auction to benefit LifeSkills in LeMars. Piecefully, the old one
