When we get closer to Festival, maybe we can come up with 2 or 3 different times so that if some are unavailable (classes etc.) at least some can meet each other. Hope I can make it to all since I want to meet ALL of YOU!

I'll be there from Market through Festival. I'd love to meet up somewhere, sometime.

I'm envious of you lucky ladies going to Houston 2008. I'll be visiting my "sweetie" in WI at that time. I've heard fantastic things about the event in Houston. Since it's usually right around my birthday, maybe I can ask for the trip as my birthday present next year

Now that is sounding really good! I know Pat and you and I are pretty close together.

I've received my confirmation for my classes. I'll be in Houston Tue-Sun. I am taking Ricky's class on Thur and Fri, So lunch or dinner Fri will work with my schedule.

I'm also taking an applique class with Sue in Sept! Can't wait.

Pat, maybe we could all carpool to La Veta!

Oh boy after being on medical leave for almost half a year, I thought it's a given that I wouldn't make it to Houston. But I sure would like to meet you all and especially you Sue for lunch. How fun.

It's unlikely that I'll ever make it to LaVeta, but Houston is only 3 hours away, which in Texas is just about next door, LOL.

Boy, I'm green with envy. My daughter and I went to the Houston show in 2005 and 2006. I sure would love to meet you all, but it's impossible at this time. Maybe in LaVeta next fall???

Thanks Lynn for the great suggestion, seems we'll have us a "crowd", as you said, perhaps we will need more than one table, or we could put a few smaller tables together and sit outside on the 3rd floor patio, weather permitting of course, Heidi

Sounding great. We'd all love to meet Sue and thank her in person, I'm sure!

We'll see how this develops. Might need more than ONE table before we are finished!

I think Sue's idea is great. One of us could get to the lunch area early Saturday and grab a table, and wear something distinctive and easy to see from a distance. I have a pieced jacket that's pretty gaudy. I call it my circus pony jacket, LOL. Oooops, did I just volunteer to get there early?

I haven't started my BOM yet and not sure when I'll get to it. But I would love to meet any TQS members that are there. My sister-in-law has a new business making iron quilt hangers (http://www.summerskycreations.com) and is going to have a booth there. So I am flying in to help her work her booth. I've never been to the show before, so am really excited about seeing everything! And sure hope to meet a lot of you who will be there!

I will definitely be at the Houston quilt show! Do you all think we could manage to find each other on Friday or Saturday around lunch time? It would be fun to meet and greet each other!

I am hoping to drive over on Friday evening after work and visiting the Show Saturday and Sunday.
