ffq-lar Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 September 15-18 Tacoma Convention Center OK quilters--who's coming this year? I need to plan the Fourth Annual APQS Dinner! For those unfamiliar, this is a machine quilting conference in Tacoma Washington put on by Cindy Roth. www.mqinnovations.com is the site and you can register on-line. There is a quilt show--all applicants are accepted until the space fills. There are usually 300 quilts to view. Lots of categories, including new quilters. The quilts are professionally judged so you will get feed-back, and also peer judged. It has lots of vendors including Superior Thread with wholesale prices. It is great to see familiar faces and meet friends you only know on-line. I organize a dinner one night for any who want to attend--at a restaurant within walking distance of the Center. If you need to room-share to cut down on expenses, shout out here to buddy-up with like-minded quilters. I will post names of quilters interested in attending the Fourth Annual APQS (and anyone else) Dinner on Friday at Innovations in Tacoma. I will make reservations at The Harmon Brewpub-- 6:30 or so--after classes Linda R Cindy M Dory Ardelle & Roger Meg M Darlene & friend Marion M Sheila & Al Patty Jo & Lucy Joyce & friend Carreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
On Pins and Needles Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 I don't think I will be doing any classes this year but will be there to check out the quilts. Add my name to the list for the 4th annual APQS dinner please. Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carreen Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I decided to go to Doodlebug's class in Portland instead of classes at innovations. I let you know if I cna make the dinner later. That sounds like fun. Carreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darlene Epp Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Hi Dory! Yes, it has been too long. Can't wait to see you again. I'm taking WAY too many classes but have all of Wednesday free. Marion, I'm signed up for one of your classes. It's fun to be the student instead of the teacher for a change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocoholic Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Al (my dh) and I will be there as we have a booth for our business. APQS is not doing a booth this year, but we will be the APQS reps. Sounds like there are a couple of classes that a couple of you are teaching that I would like to attend, but we'll see if I get to any or not. Will probably not be able to with being a vendor. To answer your question, Linda, Al and I will be at the dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoryJM Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Darlene, I was good about classes this year, only signing up for a few each day instead of filling all the days! I have two classes in the afternoon on Wednesday, but lets definitely get together while we're there! I don't know where I'm staying yet, but I'll let you know when I figure it out.

PattyJo Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I'll be there as a vendor for Quilter's Rule. Count myself and my helper Lucy in for dinner. Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. I won't be able to take any classes as I'll be in the booth, but you will all have to share with me what you learn!

Darlene Epp Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Hi Dory, I have all day Wednesday free, but am pretty booked up with classes on Thursday & Friday. We plan to tour the Glass Museum on Saturday and leave Sunday AM. What time is the dinner? My friend has a class until 6:30 Friday night and would love to join us if possible. She's had a Millie since 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Hi Darlene! I usually make the reservation for between 6:30 and 7 pm so those with the late classes can join. It's a five minute walk and so much fun to get together. I will make the reservation this week. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
