Koala-T Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 When we arranged a vacation 2 years ago to visit friends, I set it up so we could visit the Portland Quilt Expo. ONLY because DH was with me was it possible for me to order my Nolting 6 weeks later. He knows the names of patterns and enjoys what I do. But, he would not want to spend 5-6 days at MQS. He doesn't golf and doesn't care much for venturing on is own to museums and such. So, I will attending MQS (for the first time!!) in 2010 with a LA quilting buddy. She has been to MQX a few years ago so I am sure she isn't near as excited as I am. LOL Just waiting, not so patiently!!, for the online catalog to be posted. I keep waiting to see what will come first, online or mail. Ü So, if there are any hints or suggestions for a first time attendee, let me know. Thanks!!

Mary Beth Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I don't know if I can do this all online thing...I like to hold my catalog and mark and dream and highlight and mark and dream and wear my catalog out well before show time. Looks like I will be printing this out at work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreadWaggle Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I just printed my out. I need to be able to write on it so I can plan... Of course, I really need to be at my machine quilting. I made a deal with myself this morning that if I finished the custom quilt that was on my frame I could print it on my lunch break. Now I just need to get the next quilt loaded on and 1/2 way done before I can actually look at it. It is going to be a long day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WandaGeneQuilts Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Hi Caroline-- I attended MQS 2090 with my husband along (to visit the city, not to go with me to the show). He had a really great time and we both came home with a great appreciation for KC. In my blog, I have written about all sorts of things that we did, together or separately. I didn't blog about the Steamboat Museum, because he went to that by himself, but he really liked it . Also, go for the ribs and other BBQ! Johnny's is the place we liked best.

Sharond Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I printed mine out monday night, and I have my classes all picked out! Where do all of you stay when you go to MQS? A group of us will be staying at the Chase Suite Hotel, it is a great place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I usually sleep in my nice comfy bed at home and just drive over to the show Except last year I spent a couple of nights with Donna and Linda at....I don't remember, it is the Suites place across the street on the back side of the convention center.
