Welcome - EH! Did you know there is another porcupine in Saskatchewan, Porcupine Plain. Who'da thought that someone would name a town after a porcupine???? Only one warning, this place is addictive!!! But you'll love it.

Once again thanks for the warm welcome..  Yep I knew there was a porcupine plains.. I think there is also another Timmins somewhere as well which is our city... Our town was named after a miner named Porcupine Pete.. He was the first miner to setter here and discovered gold.. Hency how we got the name.. Only we re located South of Porcupine..hehe... That's okay Mary.. I forgive you this time.. ROFL

Welcome Jo-Anne! I am also a fellow Ontarian. My husband and I visited Timmins last fall (beautiful place) and drove through Porcupine. We truly love Northern Ontario, having visited Sault Ste Marie, Timmins, etc., but one of our most favourable trips was to Moosonee (James Bay). I am from Gloucester (East of Ottawa). As others have said, this is a wonderful sight where you can find much help, and whatever you may need. I enjoy the discussions, and always find something there. I too am a Gramma with two granddaughters that I love sewing for. Marlyn
