Mary Beth Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Whew....just printed out the pages I want from the MQS cataloge....I have a few days of heavy highlighting ahead of me!! (Plus I need to go to the office supply store for more ink;)). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnBarb Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 RIght you are! I printed out one and have 3 different color markers to tell which ones are first, second and third choice. Only problem is I've got every single class marked!! Oh, it's gonna be hard to eliminate something by Dec 1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I have an "'x" through classes I have already had....classes where I don't care much for the teacher or her style of quilting....and classes in which I have fallen asleep in the past I have "?" on the classes that have potential. And some are just blank. I am planning to volunteer more than take classes this year and I know I won't be available until Tuesday at 5 pm when I get off of work at my real job. So there, that narrowed down my list some more....there is a science to this whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheri Butler Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 MB. I did the same thing yesterday. However, I did get my catalog in the mail yesterday too. I think i've got, 2 maybe 3 classes and that's IT! I want time to meander thru the vender mall, chat and visit with friends, etc. Im thinking of coming down either Tues eve or Wed. early early a.m. and staying thru saturday. I want leisure time. I've taken the hands on classes so far that i've wanted. Nothing appealed to me this year. I too walked out of 3 classes last year out of boredom. I dont want to waste that $$ again, when I could be spending it in the mall! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharond Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 There seems to be a lot of repetative classes from past years. Plus alot of the classes are about feathers, not every quilt can handle feathers. I am only taking 5 classes, but allowing time for shop hopping on Monday. I like Mary Beth's idea of volunteering, have not done that before but maybe I will try it out this year. Allowing more time in the vendor mall and looking at the quilts is such a good idea. In the past I was usually too tired after all the classes I took to enjoy the vendor mall and quilts. Definitely allowing more time this year.

Sheri Butler Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Well, it looks like there's going to be a few of us having alot of leisure time. I can't think of anything better, than wandering or sitting together doing just THAT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 There are some new teachers, like Carla Barrette...I'm so excited to sign up for her classes. And after attending MQS or any show over a period of time, the number of classes we take are going to get less and less. That just gives us more time to volunteer, and you learn a lot from that side of the show too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoriasews Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 I think I'm going artsy this year, learning some special stuff for my own quilts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted November 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Okay, why did I think they were not sending us all catalogs. I thought that was in a newletter...hum, must have been someone else. Okay, so now that I am out of ink again....my catalog came yesterday in the mail!!

MtnBarb Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Uh, I got 2 catalogs yesterday! They misspelled my last name on one. If anyone wants one let me know and I'll send it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
