In Houston we meet at the TQS booth at 1:00 each day. TQS will not have a booth in Paducah, but Ricky Tims will.
Maybe Justin would be willing for that to be a gathering location for a brief Meet & Greet.

I'll be there too - I don't know of any special place to meet. I'll be at my various quilts, but would love to see some of you also.

If someone can come up with a special "spot" and time, I'll try to come.

I'd love to meet others at the show too. I'm staying with a long-time friend and we'll prob be visiting all evenings.

Is everyone going to try to meet at a certain time and place each day at the show? I will be there on Wednesday for the day. I know Robin has invited us all after the show closes, but I don't know if I can make that (DH will be entertaining himself all day!). Are you going to wear a TQS badge? I would just love to meet everyone that I could while I'm there. Bev

thanks, it's always such a thrill to get that acceptance letter.

Hi, it sounds like there will be a good group at Paducah this year. I'm going, Lord willing, I have my airline tickets and just ordered a car today. I'm getting excited and hope that the weather works to our advantage this year. I hope to see you all at some time during the week.

Congratulations to Ferret, Maggie Szafranski, Pat Durbin, Janet Stone and all other TQS members juried in to Paducah.

For any of you who are going to be in Paducah for the show this year, please check out my blog of March 5. It's an open invitation to any TQS members who are in town to stop off at my house (321 Madison St) after the show closes for the day to meet other TQS members, have something to eat, something to drink and share good conversation. And, of course, a show-and-tell of what you've bought. The house is just a block from the convention center and a block from the museum.
Email me with questions, if you have any.
I can't wait to see you all.
Robin

OK, I did it! I have reservations for a 2 bed room from Wed. until Sat. The only bad thing is, it is 22.7 miles from Paducah. I don't mind a 30 minute drive though. The one I had last year was 45 minutes away. I guess to get a close room we have to book now for next year. I think I will do that too. It can be cancelled if life chances things.

Pam, I guess you are right, I must stay. I will just have to stay away from the vendors. I love vendors, but I will have no money left. And I can't forget Hancocks. That is another must. I have already registered for the Machine Quilters Showcase in Kansas City. I love quilt shows. Now I had better try to find a room and hope I don't have to drive too far to get one. Is anyone interested in sharing a room?

Cathy, you have no option but to stay 3 days

Ricky's classes and concert are a MUST!!! I have never had a class from Alex, but from everything I have seen on TQS and heard I wouldn't want to miss here either. I hope that you can manage to see them both.

I won't be there the whole time either. I think it is a good 8 hr drive so I have the day down & day back and hope to have 2 days in the middle for the show & some classes.

Joyce, I receive my show registration book today, so it didn't take long. I like to read over the classes, compare times and the cost. That is so much nicer than trying to read it all online. I will probably register online, once I decide what classes I want to take and what special events I want to attend. I can't stay the whole time, so I am torn between Alex on Wednesday night and Ricky on Friday. Maybe I will just have to stay the whole time.
