Bridget...is there room in the UGH Club for one more? I sure would like to some company this week. It is no fun pouting alone.
I did spend the day working on a "First Christmas quilt" for one great niece and a "welcome new baby quilt" for another. So, I guess my day wasn't bad at all... I did spend it sewing. I am looking forward to reading everyone's posts about Houston. I'm just trying to figure out how to keep checking the lastest forum posts and blogs while I'm at work. Better to wait until I get home, relax, and savor every word. Anyway...here's to us! We'll get through this together! Meanwhile I'm waiting for one of your posts...you said you have some fun in store for us. Thanks!

My DS turns 30 on Thanksgiving and I am frantically working on this birthday quilt and just started cutting it yesterday. Hopefully I will get it done by then. Us UGHers will still have fun this week. Sharon in CO

liiddz OFFLINE Posts: 260	Me too, sigh. But to get my quilty on, I plan to baste a few quilts with vanish lite. and dust off my quilting hat and get busy! I got through a few layers of rust in the joints while playing with some Texture Magic when I made myself a new tote bag, gotta get a pic. Thanks Bridget for taking the lead on the UGH train!

I really cant complain about not being in Houston, because I was lucky enough to be taken by DH last year. However it does mean that I know what I am missing

I have had a busy weekend like many ,helping sort halloween costumes, and babysitting so that the big girls and boys could go to a party. I am recovering with a quiet day today. I am looking forward to see what Bridget comes up with for us this week

Thanks Bridget!!

The way it's going, I might just wind up to be a permanent UGH member - but it's usually because I'm doing something else just as fun. Last year, we were in Cambodia and Thailand during Houston. This year I just returned from Sweet Adelines International competition in Seattle. Next year, we'll be in Australia for a wedding, and the following year I hope to be in Denver at SAI again. Guess I'll have to try for Paducah, although that's usually around the time of SAI Regional competition. Des Moines, here I come!

Last year and this year are exceptions for me NOT to go to Houston. My parents live in the area and my mom & I usually enjoy the show. Actually, I enjoy the show and she blazes through the vendor booths like lightning. It's amazing.
Last year was a schedule change for the dates of the show and this year we are planning a major family reunion/birthday party in December that will take priority over Market. I will miss the inspiration of the quilts but plan to take inspiration from this major family event.
I actually will putter around today with some of the books, notions, etc. that I have purchased in previous years in Houston but have yet to tackle.

PS...I did buy an awesome pair of shoes this weekend

You'd have about 2 1/2 hrs to get to me, then I'm 1/2 hr to the Mississippi River, then another 1/2 hr to the outlet. It was just OK. VERY warehouse-y. VERY!! OK...quite a bit out of the way for me. But it sounds like you got some good deals! Thanks for the info!

Sign me up too. I'm hoping to make the spring show in Cincinnati though.

Meanwhile, this morning I finished to top for a Christmas wall hanging, will start a table topper tomorrow and am stitching the pieces for Snow Days, a pattern from Crabapple Hill. Who says we can't have fun away from Houston!

Marge

Yeah, Marge! I haven't started the Christmas wallhanging that I hoped to have done this year.
