Sandra Darlington Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 It looks like you all are having a wonderful time. Shana, you look so pretty there riding in that Buick. I love your big smile. I guess I am looking at 2010 to get my turn. I have hotel reservations in Manchester (MQX) in 2009, so MQS will have to wait another year. I also recognize Linda card at dinner, but I can\'t tell who the others are. Anyway, you all seem to be having a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda Card - Ramona Quilter Donna Smith - Sam\'s Mom Cheryl Ranes - Socalgal - (our newest member...we signed her up to the chat yesterday ) Chris - Quilting Midwife Jeanne - Shadows4 Barb Mayfield - Barb Mayfield next 2 people - I can\'t remember sorry Tracye Q Sheri B Shana - Quilt Monkey can\'t remember -sorry Mary Cramer "A lurker" Ramonia Dinkla Glenda - Quilting Nanny Elke (hope the spelling is right) I\'m sure Elke thought she was with the wrong group by the time I got her back to her hotel!! But she kept smiling!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulsa quilter Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Yea, I get to come - leaving Tulsa 4:00 AM to get there in time for an 8:00 class - keep your fingers crossed. Only problem is I don\'t think I have a room yet. (made a couple of contacts - but no word back). Maybe I didn\'t sound desperate enough in my earlier post! Will share expenses and bring my own bed - so if you know of any spare space, please let me know ASAP. Otherwise be sure to look for the sleepyhead in the white Van Friday morning and wake me in time for class! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulsa quilter Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 OK, all is well - I\'ll see you soon - I\'ll be staying with a quilter in KC instead of my Van - what a relief! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeerviewQuilting Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Hi Mary Beth! I\'m the lurker that met you on the way out of the convention center to the quilt shops! Funny story! My friend, Cynthia, said there was a group going "shop hopping". So I stopped to look at the addresses of the store. It was this APQS group. I said to the lady, "oh didn\'t Mary Beth post a list of stores on the APQS chat?". She said, "oh, do you mean me?" and showed me her name tag! I was like, "DUH!" What a dork I was! By the way, Mary Beth, you look MUCH younger in person than you avatar (what we can see of it!). We are on our way back to the show this afternoon. REALLY ready for the SHOPPING FRENZY!!! And, Shana, it was nice to meet you in the judging room! Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Thanks, Mary Beth. I printed the names out and scrolled back to the picture, trying to put a face to the names. What fun. Last year in Paducah I tried to find Teresa (chickenscratch), but that didn\'t work out. I think we were to wear purple ribbons to ID anyone from the chat, but I didn\'t see any other purple ribbons there. So far, I have only met Shana in person. Ooops, and some APQS staff, too. I hope to meet many more of you over the years. I have to say that I really feel like part of a large, wonderful group of sisters (and brothers, too) within the APQS family. I was part of the chat for a few years while I was researching LA machines and everyone was so helpful and so kind. Now that I am (FINALLY!!!) a Liberty owner, I feel "officially" part of this great community. Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birgitquilts Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Looks like everybody has had a great time last night. How I wish I could be there as well. Maybe next year again... How about spending some money during the shopping frenzy today in memory of those who cannot be there in person ... Have fun everybody, enjoy the quilts, learn the latest tricks and techniques and laugh your way through the show! I\'m with you spirit, Birgit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewingjunky Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 This is my very late new years resolution. To **** with loosing weight, that is so over rated anyway. My new resolution is that I will be going to MQS, this is a win win. I get to go and for once in my life I will have actually done my new years resolution. I can\'t wait until Dec to tell the DH. Have a great time for me, and see you all next year!!!! Brendalee;);) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
