Greetings to all folks near and far.

When researching Appalachian history, I get so deep into the early days when the first peoples of the areas, Native American tribes, lived in harmony and balance on Mother Earth. This was a time of living off the land, roaming free in lands of abundance, and teaching their young to carry on the traditions and culture of a noble people.

I will be writing many articles over time about the history of Appalachian regions. You can check out these articles on my Home page under the category 'History'. This list of articles will continue to grow.

Another great part of Appalachian history is quilting, one of my favorite past times and winter crafts to work on.

Here is my latest article from the Appalachia site at BellaOnline.com.

Quilting The Appalachian Way
In early days quilting was a necessary skill and a necessity of life.

I love feedback on my articles. To discuss this latest, or any article on my site, please join me in the Appalachia forum.

Till next time, may your home be filled with laughter and may it ring from floor to rafter.

Blessings and may you Walk in Peace and Harmony,
Phyllis
