DB Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I see that the 2012 MQX East class catalog has been posted, is anyone thinking of going? Dianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I'll have to see how my budget is doing early in 2012 -- I went to MQX East for six straight years and didn't go last year because I went to MQX West (which I will again in 2012), but I really missed not going to the eastern show. I'd like to go in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Depending on when everyone arrives would anyone be interested in a day trip/shop hop to Cape Cod? I have a 7 passenger van and would be willing to do the driving. I'm in MA and have been to the Cape many times but thought it would be fun to do as a group.

Primitive1 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Dianne, I remember you offering this last year...did you end up going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 No Vicki, I think it got off to a late start, most people had already made their plans, signed up to classes and if I remember correctly in rained cats and dogs on the day I was hoping to go. I just thought it would be fun because there are some nice quilts shops out on the Cape, if you haven't been, it's a nice side trip (although in the summer it's nicer but 100 times more crowded).

CWBowser Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Did anyone notice that the Weston Hotel, the one attached to the covention center is not listed as one of the hotels? What's happening. Don't they want us or wouldn't they offer a discount on the rooms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primitive1 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Dianne, I used to live on the cape, on Otis ANGB back in the late 80's and would love to do a trip back again, was not so much into quilting then, I had 3 young girls that I sewed clothes for instead...I am planning to go up with a friend this year - (I think my dtr was very patient with the quilts but has other plans this year), and so it will depend on our travel plans...but it does sound fun!

Small world, we live on Otis too in the early 80's My husband was in the Coast Guard and worked out of Wood's Hole. We love the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennyquilts Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 I am planning on going again this year. I have 2 classes I would love to take, but they are 2 days apart. So, I either have to find a class to fill some time in between or, just take one class and make it an over night trip. It's going to depend on the pocketbook.

Quilting Heidi Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Rita, It is up in Rhode Island. About 3 hours from me. I would bet there are some military facilities not too far away. I haven't looked into that but I'm sure there has to be something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Many thanks Heidi, I'd not thought about that since we don't have the RV.. used the FamCamps as much as we could, then.. Will see if I find a chance tomorrow to do more research.. On the other hand , not so sure I want to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Heidi, the closest military base is probably Newport Navy Base. I used to fly into Providence and drive to Newport to teach. Rita when I went to the show in 2009, we took the train. The fare was reasonable and the train station is a 5 minute walk from the convention center. The only drawback is that the train is "slow".
