Hanne-Grete, you set a wonderful example for all of us!! Quilters, engineers, moms......

Can't wait to see your smiling face! Speaking of which....where's your cute avatar????

Hi Frances. I hope to meet you before you have to leave!!!!!!! Last week my company had visitors from University of Texas in Austin:))) They wanted to interview female engineers. After the interviwe ended Professor McGloan said I was the happiest female engineer he ever met,lol......kind of sad if you ask me. Are all female engineers just miserable???? No matter what we can can smile when we meet up again;)

I'm so excited to see how many people are coming! I'll be there for the winners circle on Tuesday night. I have to leave Thursday morning (so I'll miss the dinner ) because I need to work the opera on Thursday night back in Austin. My son graduates from the police academy on Friday morning so I will leave Austin Friday afternoon to come back to Houston. I've got classes on Wednesday and Saturday. See you all there!

Slightly over 2 months now!!!

VMACQUEEN: Check out if Club Quarters on Fennin st has any room vacant room for you;) I made reservations there just yesterday:)) It is only a 6 minute walk, and it is a greate place to stay if you ask me! I did not check out the prices per night but it is ca 100$a night+17%. I am staying for 7 nights and are paying 709$+17%taxes. Worth it if you ask me;)

To all of you girls: Cant wait to meet you again..or for the 1st time either!

Oh, yeah!! We are all getting more excited every day! This is gonna be FUN!!!

Hi Wanda--Can I come to dinner on Thursday? Please...... Just kidding-but count me in.

WooHoo Brink is coming again! Can't wait.

SO glad you're coming again, Brink! See you there.

Isn't it great that Brink will be there???

What classes are you taking, Mary Kay?

Maggie, it will be great to meet you.

I am so eager to see all of you though with my work schedule I rarely make it to the show floor for the 1 pm Meet and Greet. I see all of you in line for the special events on the 3rd floor. Can't wait!

I have been to the Festival a number of times, and this will be my first actually taking classes. I am very excited! For first timers, I would really recommend comfortable walking shoes, and prepare to see things in shifts (there is no way to see everything in one day!) It's a great experience!!! Have fun!

WOOT! Brink will be in Houston! Now I am even doubly excited about going!

If you google "hotels Houston Tx" You will find at least 9 different hotels within a reasonable distance from George R. Brown Convention center.
I made reservations yesterday and had no promlems finding a place to stay.

Last year was my first time ever to the Houston quilt show, I did not take any classes, but I had the most wonderful time.
All the fantastic quilts displayed; You need at least 2 full days to check them all out.
Talking to the winners was a greate experience as many of them are willing to share their trips on making an awardwinning quilt. And then there is all the vendors!!! You need to hold you wallet tight and plan your budget as it is tempting to buy everything

See you on the 4th of Nov, 1PM at the TQS booth
