I would love to go to LaVenta. Florence I'm not sure about starting and Margo I'm sure Ricky woud invite us if we asked him real nice. As we get closer to finishing our beautiful quilts I thik we will be able to work out something. It would be sew much fun. A trip to look forward to.

I'm still working away on the JANUARY block but I'm going to be like the tortoise, slow and steady, cause I really want to go too. It would be so much fun to see everybody and their quilts.

Count me in, I'm slow but determined! I have the first four blocks started and am over half way through the quilt top that I must have for graduation at the end of May! I just love every bit of this process. Include me in the count...I've already told DH that I'm going to LaVeta!

Well......it just so happens that I have all that info at my fingertips!
I know....imagine your surprise!!
Anyway, according to my map, of the 52 members who have posted January BOMs, the fartherest northeast member is Denise-NH. Duffy and Hanne-Grete might not be able to catch the bus, there are only 11 members west of Colorado, and the rest of us are scattered over the rest of the country. I have no idea how many would seriously consider a bus trip, but we would have to figure out a route and make arrangements for a place to stay in La Veta. There is also the little matter of not being INVITED to descend on Ricky and Justin! I think we would have to check with Ricky's schedule to see what would work for him. I'd hate to go all that way and not be able to see them! :shock:
Too bad they haven't yet built that quilter's retreat on their mountain that they talked about in early '07!!!

This topic began on the Chat w/ Sue Garman & Grandmanina lives on the Eastern Shore of Va. So I said she'd have to start!

Do we know how many people are working on the BOM quilt?

Ok, so where would this bus take off from. I vote to have it start off in... oh I don't know who the furthest of us north is but lets say NY somewhere and have stops along the way to pick people up - say Harrisburg, Pittsburg, somewhere around here , Virginia, Tennasee, etc. Anyway we would just keep adding on until the bus was full and show up on Ricky's doorstep

If I can pull it off, you're in!

I love the bus idea.. ya' know, all those take-along projects!! What time there is by air is constantly interrupted! Florence

OHHHH< Bridget, you are even closer than Margo! Can I, can I, please, please?

Well, my husband is talking about getting an RV this fall (for racing trips), and I've already told him that it's fine as long as I can take it to Colorado! We'll see!

Start saving your travel money, Sandy, because we are going to hit the road together!! I will drive anywhere, but I still think that a busload from this side of the country would be a HOOT!

OK, if I can get to TN. Can I come too?

Sign me up. What a hoot a bus trip cross country would be with my quilt family. Sandy
