bobbi Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Well, Rita and I had quite a long day yesterday! We went up to Streetsboro to drop off quilts for a show this weekend... (this show stuff can be addicting!) It was 45 minutes up there then another half hour to 40 minutes to find the right church! ( took the wrong page of the brochure, and had a different address - another whole story!) Anyway, we found them! Dropped off quilts, had a bite to eat and were off to Mansfield... Arrived in Mansfield right about 3. (about 2 hours from Streetsboro) Called a quilty friend (not from the chat) from our Zanesville group... went to Hobby Lobby! Love that place, and while there our friend came and surprised us in the store! Then we went and met another Zanesville friend and had a nice bite to eat! Then we all "mosied" over to Camp Mowana for show and tell at Deloa's quilting retreat camp! What great accomodations! What friendly teachers and people! AAAANNNNNDDDD.....

Boni Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Thanks Bobbi for the joy. . .I can hardly wait for the Moxie meeting in a couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to meeting ITF those I've been chatting with for so long. The picture is great---no need to be perfect. I can just feel the excitement and joy of quilting with kindred spirits. That line-up at Mowana sounds wonderful--a dream retreat. Looking forward to more pictures and what you learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmquilt Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Bobbi, I U2Ued you my email. I really hate having my picture taken but I love to laugh. So if your really want to go ahead and post it. LOL. Michele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Bobbi, Thanks for posting the picture...I think! LOL I looked like a drowned rat! I have to tell you all I had been walking in the misty rain all day and my fine thin hair was not my friend! Looks like I have it pulled back but sadly I didn't! Sigh! We are having the best time and I have to tell you all these gals on chat are so nice! Charlotte is my roommate and she is the sweetest person! We have roomed together for 2 years at MQX and I'm lucky she lives near me. Michele is a hoot and you always know when she is in the room. LOL I love you Michele. Her hand dyed fabric is gorgeous. You should see the backer she did for Peggy...yummy! Peggy of course is always so sweet. Linda too is the sweetest. You should have heard her squeal with delight last night as she was making a design with the Quiltazoid. I wish I had that on film! Dave, Deloa, Jamie & Pam are just the best. Dave works his butt off setting up the machines for us. He only grumbles a little . Deloa, Jamie and Pam are all so talented and so giving. I'm telling you guys if you ever get the chance to come you should! Next year they are limiting to 36 students so be sure to get your deposit in early. $100 holds your spot. I don't think I'll be coming next year because my guild is planning a trip to Houston but I will be so sad to miss camp. This is my 3rd year. We crashed last night around midnight although I can't say I fell asleep until almost 2. I feel like I've been out drinking all night...lol I need more coffee. I have an all day class with Jamie and I'm sure it will be another winner! Miss you all and hope that one day I get to meet you all at camp!!!! We're going to try to set up a camp in Upstate NY too so maybe I'll see you all at that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Michele you are always a handful! LOL Bobbi yes I am cringing as I see those pictures but I rarely like my picture! My hair looked like that the whole time I was there! LOL rain is not my friend!!!!! I guess you missed the picture where we were waving at you! It was so wonderful meeting all of you and being with those from last year! We had a great time but I know Charlotte and I were exhausted from not sleeping much! It was definitely worth it though.

CWBowser Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Bobbi, I didn't even know that you were taking pictures from the front of the room. It was great meeting you and Rita. We did have a great time. By Wednesday I was wiped out and went to bed and read while everyone else was up and chit chatting. I couldn't keep my eyes open. I am glad that I went to camp but I am glad to be home. Charlotte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
