We have reservations!!! Josephine's was suggested. It's .02 miles from the George R Brown. Here's a web address so that you can check it out. Seems pretty reasonable. Reservations are for 6:30 on the 31st. Let me know if you want to join us. I'll need to call to confirm reservations 1 week prior.

Have a safe trip to Houston!

Denise, you can find a pattern for the star if you will click on NEWSLETTERS (on the purple bar). In the SEARCH box, type in NAME TAG and hit ENTER. Scroll down (about 3/4 of the way down the page) to Episode #111 dated October 16, 2007.
You can either just print off the star and use that as your name tag or make and embellish one of fabrics. Please be sure to add your name!!

Counting the days!

Anyone can help me find the star -- where I can print it off?

I want to customize it.

Thanks

11 days and counting until I leave for Houston!!! I was wondering if any of you would be interested in getting together Friday evening at one of the downtown restaurants for dinner. Maybe about 6:30? If you're interested, just email me. I've been searching the web and there are several restaurants within walking distance of the convention center. See all of you soon!

I am getting so excited that I cannot even sleep at night!! I will try and make it at 1pm everyday depending what classes I have on. Hope to meet as many of you as I can. See you soon!!!

I will be there too, will try to be there Thursday, Friday and Saturday at, or around 1:00 pm. I am going to be traveling starting 10/15. We are going to PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL QUILT FESTIVAL in Santa Clara, CA Then on to Texas next week. I will be checking e-mail. and maybe TQS, sometimes too Hope to see all of you there.

Glad you found the thread, Cinda! Apparently we are not going to be able to have reserved seating for either event, but we will try to make a decision at the meet & greets about when and where to meet on Saturday so that we can sit together. The info will then be available at the TQS booth. IT'S A NEW DAY!!

BTW...I will be at the booth for meet & greet on Thursday and Friday. Classes on other days!

YES YES YES Me PLEASE - Am I too late???? I will be attending both the concert and the dinner for Alex.

One thing to consider while at the Festival is participating in is the Tiera Parade - generally noon on Saturday (I think). There is an online art quilters group that put the parade together a few years ago and I think it happens every year. You can find a little info about the parade in the Megan Cox quilters reference book (hopefully I am not mixing up authors!). My daughter and I participated in the parade a few years ago - lots of fun! It's not quite Halloween, but it is fun and a little dress-up. So make a homemade tiera and strut your stuff! Mary Kay

So looking forward to meeting all who be there, but must ask is anyone doing anything for Halloween???? while there (such as costumes??). See you all each day, Thursday, Friday, maybe Saturday, at 1pm TQS booth,

You Lucky Ducky, Dana!!!!

I am so excited for you! Please take lots of pictures for those of us attending vicariously through the TQS'er's that are attending!

It is a BANNER YEAR Lynn....I've never traveled very many places in my lifetime, so this year has been one of the most special of my life. And Houston was not planned....it just happened....and so that makes it even more exciting. See you soon!

Great! La Veta and Houston all in the same year! That's a BANNER YEAR!

I finally have all my plans made and can say for sure that I am coming to Houston .....I have never been before and am so excited! I'll be there from Wednesday AM until Sunday PM. I can't wait to meet all of you that I haven't me before and then to see the ones again that I've already met. I know we'll have a great time.
