seakitten Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I am planing a trip to MQS. Anyone want to share a room? Six days seems like an awfully long time to be at a show. Do most people stay the whole time? Is there anything else interesting to do (preferably but not necessarily quilt related) in the area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltingnanny Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Yes, it's easy to spend a whole week there ! We usually have something going on after show closes for the day. Out to eat or just goof off. You'll have a great time.See you there ! :cool: Glenda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbm Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Me, too!! Me, too!!:P I'm all registered but haven't given a thought to hotel. First year I was there I shared a room at the Sheraton - nice to be close but a little spendy. Last year I shared a room at the Marriott Courtyard - just across the street from the Convention Center. Price was better, especially shared, but when it rained, the trek to the room was not nice at all....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh why doeesn't this forum have spell check !! Glad you're gonna make it again this year Patty. Glenda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I'm going to MQX next year but it looks like I'll have to do MQS the following year. You all are going to have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I haven't decided on classes yet! Usually I am signed up for everything by now, then I am calling them to add more as the months go by. This year I am being selective. No more beginner classes for me No sir....this year I am sticking to the advanced classes. I was so embarrased one year when I had been a quilter for 3 years and I signed up for a beginner class with Pam Clarke. She asked about the length of time people had been quilting by having us raise our hands, then put them down as she called out the number of years. I was the last man standing and she said, "What are you doing in a beginner class?" Well everyone knows that answer....confidence!! I won't be called out like that again....or, if I see it coming I will lie and put my hand down earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DebFigved Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I'll be there all week--beginning on Friday night. I will again be volunteering with unpacking quilts and scribing. This was a great experience last year. So, I won't be visible during the first few days. I look forward to seeing everyone again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankiequilter Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I'll be there and have one hands on class each day Monday and Tuesday and two lectures on Wednesday scheduled. I tried to hold back after reading posts from others who have attended in previous years about how over booked they had been with classes, taking them back to back. No time for fun and visiting! I am excited to be able to attend this year and look forward to meeting and visiting with others from the forum that will be there! I wanted to take a class from Claudia Pfeil but her classes are marked Intermediate/Advanced and I'm such a beginner so I compromised and ordered her DVD so that I can take private lessons from her in my home without all you experts laughing at my feathers! :P:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnBarb Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I'm excited too...but I have to wait for a new credit card!! It's a good thing my DH goes over the bill, item by item, because he found some charges that neither of us remembered. When I checked them out, it appears that the card number was stolen and used to apply for grant research information of all things!! So the company recommended cancelling that number and getting new ones. NOW...I have to wait 7 to 10 days for the new card to arrive!! It also means I have to memorize the new one so I don't have to look it up!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisee Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Carmen, I had not even used a quilting machine of any sort, and have just completed 2 days of classes - in Melbourne, Australia at Sue's Studio - with Claudia and it was such a great time. Claudia is a fantastic teacher! Who would even think about laughing at your feathers! You will enjoy her DVD ......when I play it I can imagine that she is right here in the room with me.

Mary Beth Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Carmen, by the time May gets here your feathers are going to be just fine. I bet you could take Claudia's class by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
