newellyn Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Gosh, just returned from a wonderful afternoon at Brendalee's for the NW Moxie meeting. What a great bunch of people to spend the day with. I can't thank you all enough for the day. The sharing was fabulous, the knowledge was awesome , the food scrumptious and conversation was the best. I can't wait for the next one at Linda's in Olympia, and I want to make sure my place is on the schedule for the fall. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

mgregory Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I agree with Lynda everything was wonderful. I hope someone that remembered their camera will post pictures.

nora123 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Yes it was such fun. Linda you are right about looking forward to these meetings. I get so many great ideas. I am looking forward to the meeting in Olympia at Linda Rech's house. Is anyone thinking about taking the train up?. It would be fun if we could all be on the same train just getting on at different stops. I will get busy looking into a retreat location for us. Can everybody let me know what month would be best?. Have a great week quilting. Nora, Millennium Washougal WA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrhine333 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hey, I found you guys! I didn't know about this exclusive little "Moxie Group". But then, I'm the gal who didn't know about longarms until I bought one! A bit behind the curve? At any rate I'm glad I found you - and like the rest of you had a great time at Brenda's. So many beautiful quilts, so many beautiful quilters! Thanks! See you in April. I'm all for the train! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 It was a great meeting. Brendalee has a beautiful home and a studio full of wonderful things. It was good to connect with Patty and Nancy Jo after their challenges of the past few months. Wonderful quilts were shared (Lynda Newell from Seaside had a gorgeous set of quilts to share--I will get some photos posted soon.) Brenda gave a great demo for using her CQ to quilt motifs on a sweatshirt or sweater--it was lovely. Good friends, great food, tips and tricks, advice, and a trip to Heart to Hand to round out a great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyJo Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 That trip to Heart to Hand - I vowed that I would not buy any fabric, but just wanted to go and touch, see & feel. Well, I went home with some anyways - only 1/2 yd so I was almost good!!! Somehow I can never reduce my stash - now everyone knows why! Thanks Beth for opening up the store for us.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GramieSnooks Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Ditto from Jim and I. What a fun group. We would like to take the train too. We grew up in the era that train was the way to travel. Thank you, thank you, Brendalee for opening up your lovely home. Looking forward to traveling north to Linda's. We need for Bonnie R. to confirm that she wants July cause Lynda N. really wants us to go to the Seaside. She is planning on September if Bonnie does July. By the way, we missed you on Sunday Bonnie.

kennan100 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hey Moxies! Do the rest of us get pictures this time? I love those with all of you together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 It was sooo good to see everyone again. This is such a wonderful family to be part of. BrendaLee your house is lovely and thank you for sharing your home and letting us wander around your studio and touch all your goodies. Lynda N. I am still in awe of the beautiful quilts you shared. I am still up for the train ride. LIke Jim and Bev riding the train was the way to go when I was younger. I am sorry I missed the trip to heart to hand but my check book is very glad I headed home. I know you all had a great time petting fabric and seeing where our Beth works. Her boss, Wendy, is the greatest lady. the food was scrumpous and all the tips were good ones and just had a good time. What a wonderful way to spend a day. Patty Jo way to go only buying one piece of fabric. I would never be that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Here is a fund-raiser that Lynda N. will be quilting for her guild. She asked for suggestions and we all tossed out some thoughts. Then she displayed three wonderful quilts she had pieced and quilted. Man, this woman needs no help to decide on stitching designs--she is a Big Girl Quilter for sure! She does beautiful feathers and her fabric choices and piecing are top-notch!! I am a big fan now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newellyn Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Thank you all for your very kind words. I, of course, forgot my camera as usual so I appreciate the pictures of my quilts. Next time we must strive to get some of faces too. I am almost ready to load the guild quilt and take advantage of all the great advice, thank you all again. Thanks again.

Boni Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hi all, I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it Sunday. The pictures look great--lots of beautiful piecing! Sounds like you had a wonderful meeting. If Linda wants to do a Moxie in July, go ahead. I'll be the back-up. I find it difficult to plan things on Sundays, and I have my head in my quilting currently. With a big family event next month, I can't think past February right now. I never hope for things to slow down, but maybe there will be a lull after the storm. . .and I'll give it some thought. Thank you for thinking of me.

bonbon Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I too, am sorry I missed a wonderful time! "Hi Maxine" What is the date of the April gathering in Olympia? I'm hoping to make it to Linda's! Bonnie K. Newberg Or Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Lynda, Your guild quilt is awesome. It looks like the Milky Way to me with all the different stars gathered together. Is this a pattern? I want to make this quilt! Please share photos of the completed quilt when you get a chance. I would love to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyJo Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Shana, one of these times, you need to come down and join all of us at a Moxie meeting. Then you can really look closer at the quilts & the shoes!!!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
