Quilting Heidi Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Hi All, I just wanted to let you know that Sandra G. will be making blue ribbons for everybody to wear so we can easily identify our Forum friends! Please stop by DeLoa's booth to get your ribbon if you are going to MQX. I can't wait to see you all. I'm sure while in DeLoa's booth you might find a thing or two you just can't do without!

LibbyG Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I'll be there Monday night around 7. I'm staying at the Westin, but I didn't take the maintenance class because there were too many interesting classes available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I'll be arriving mid-day on Tuesday and a class Tuesday afternoon. I'm staying at the Westin. BTW: Does anyone know if there is an MQX shuttle service from the airport to the Westin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Sorry Sandra I don't know about the shuttle service. I will be coming in sometime Wed. afternoon. Can't wait!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 If there isn't any, I 'm sure I can get a cab. Perhaps some news will be announced in the next few weeks. I'm sure many people will be arriving by plane and will need transportation to the hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandraG Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I will be there Tuesday morning and I will have the ribbons with me until the vendor mall opens. I will let you know where I will be during the day on Tuesday in case you want to pick up your ribbon. If I see you, I will give you a holler!!

meg Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 if you were to pick 2 days and 1 night to be at MQX - what would they be? i'm really trying to get there and want to make sure i get the most out of it. i checked online today and dawns tension class is full already that would have been the best class for me... i've heard if you arrive at the beginning - you cabn get cheap thread from superior. since i have never been...imwtk tia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted March 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Meg, If I were to pick one niht and 2 days I'd probably pick Wed or Thursday night. I think the vendor mall opens Wed. night and if you go to the awards banquet you get early preview. Thursday will still have most things in stock so you can get your shopping done. Superior has loads of stuff. The most popular colors will run out quicker but last year they had a lot and didn't seem to run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blair8904 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I will be arriving early Tuesday morning and be in the maintenance class also. Staying at the Westin Tues. and Thursday nights.

Sandra Darlington Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Thanks anyway, Barbara. It was kind of you to enquire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Sandra, I can probably pick you up at the airport and drive you to the hotel. The airport, even though I know it says Providence, TF Green airport, is not in Providence. Let me just check my class list, I'm pretty sure that I'm free Tuesday morning. Send me your flight info and a number that I can reach you at. I'll try and touch base with you some time next week. If anyone else is flying into Providence on Tues am, feel free to let me know I might be able to pick up several people. I have a 7 passenger van and live about 20 minutes from the conference center.

CWBowser Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I will be coming in on Wednesday with Heidi. The show opens after the Awards Ceremony. The people attending the Awards Ceremony get into the show 30 minutes before they let anyone else go in at 6:30. I think that you have to be a pregistered student to go to the preview. I don't think it will be open to the public. That is what it says on page 18 of the booklet. Hope this helps. Heidi and I are staying in the Westin also.

Gator Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 If you'rel arriving at the airport, check with the Westin, they probably have shuttle service from the airport. I remember the airport was fairly small but I haven't been to Providence in a few years. I had to fly there often to attend school at the Navy base in Newport.

Angie UK Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I'm flying in to Boston then going on to Cape Cod for a few days before getting to the Westin on Tues. I'm so excited as I've booked several classes & can't wait to see all the goodies around. I've been trying to compose a list of things I want/need & just hope I can get them all home in my case!!!! So looking forward to meeting some of you too. Not long now........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Thanks for the suggestion, Connie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 If anyone is flying into Providence on Tuesday morning and needs a ride to the hotel, please feel free to contact me. I will be picking up Sandra and have plenty of space for anyone else. Anyone flying into Logan Airport/ Boston might want to check out Foxfield Taxi, Foxboro MA. for transportation to Providence, just in case there is no shuttle. I have used them before and they are pretty reasonable. I have been soaked by some ofthe other car services in the area. Anyone coming in by Amtrak, the hotels are within walking distance, a few blocks away. Angie, Where are you going on the Cape? There are some great quilt stores out that way. Heartbeat Quilts and Tumbleweeds are two of them and they are maybe a 15 minute drive apart. Dianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisalnewman Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Just booked the flight and hotel and confirmed my classes this morning so it is official I will be there on Monday night and have a class Tuesday afternoon.
