Looking forward to meeting everyone!!

I am anticipating the Gammill arrival Nov 12th or Nov 19th! Very exciting! You're going to Houston, right, Eileen? It will be great to meet you in person! You will be AMAZED at the Festival event - it is like no other quilt get-together!

That's great, MK! Has your longarm arrived yet? Have fun next week!

Barb, The Quilt Show booths are 714, 716, and 718. Ricky's is adjoing, in 720 and 821, on an end. All of the vender's booth numbers are posted now on the http://www.quilts.com. I have scoured it for my favorite venders, and now have a list of all that I want to visit. I tend to get caught up in the excitement, and it is easier for me to do prep work in the quiet of my quilting room, ahead of time. Also, I had an unmarked floor plan from a couple of years ago, so I pulled it and it is now all marked up and highlighted with my favorites. (Booth numbers/floor plans remain the same each year) I'm READY!

You will need to check the festival book, but it's usually near the main entrance about row 700.

Does anyone have the booth number yet???

I am there every day and have classes every day but Thursday (shopping day!) Our class lunch hour is usually from 12-2 so I will definitely stop by. Is the booth in a certain place or will we not know that until we get the festival book?

Barb, every day at 1:00 there is a brief "Meet & Greet" at the TQS booth. It is so much fun! We all gather quickly for hugs and a group photo, then we are all off again in separate directions! Please try to make it any day that you are not in a class or have another commitment!

Have I missed something? What booth at 1pm?

I won't get to dinner--I work for quilts Inc in the education department and have duties that night. But I'll be working the line for Ricky's show saturday night so look for me and say "hello". I always have my name badge on. I hope to get to the booth at 1 pm but don't usually make that either. I will definitely be at the booth preview night! Mostly, I'm on the 3rd floor, in the education office or zipping from one event to another. I'll be looking for all of you.

Houston time is coming quickly. I am busy checking my supply lists and making piles in my studio. Mostly just pencil and paper. I have so many classes and lectures for which I have high hopes that I will be inspired and motivated. I planned some time to be "a fly on the wall" near my own quilt. This is always an enlightening time. It is fun to see people see ones work. I look forward to the dinner to put faces with the folks I've met on TQS. The end of October will be here soon!!! See you all there!!!!! Whoo Hoo.

All of that is on the 2nd floor of the GRB You can't miss it!
