TraderVic and I have actually been to Alabama, we did a day trip down to the Space museum in Huntsville when were staying with our friends in Nashville - it is certainly a beautiful state.
Hopefully, I will finish Alaska tomorrow night (my next 'Merica Monday stitching night) and get started on the next "A" state - I think maybe it is Arizona but I could be wrong - I will let you know - are there any other "A" states? Not sure, but I think that I am going to know them all very well by the time I am done!
hugs, Kaye
Note: Just googled it and yes, Arizona is next but I forgot about the fourth "A" state - Arkansas!

Well done, Kaye. Yes, the next is Arizona and then there will be Arkansas. I was just looking it up on my America Sampler which is lying next to me, lol.
Beautiful stitching!
Wow, what a great sampler and way to learn all our states, too!
