jmcclannan Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Hi, midwest quilters! I am wondering who is going to the show in Des Moines. It is Oct. 2-5 and I am available to go almost any day. It would be fun to go as a group, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neher-in-law5 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I'm planning to go with hubby (chauffers are so nice to have!) either Thursday or Friday for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheri Butler Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Don't know if I will be going this year or not. Mother's77th b-day is Saturday. It's hunting season for us now, thru Dec 31st, so depends on the weather too. It will definitely be a LAST MINUTE decision, if I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcclannan Posted September 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Tuesday or Friday will work best for me. If anyone wants to meet me in Omaha we can drive over together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmaLKB Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I'm bringing 5 ladies with me on Wednesday, the 2nd. Always a fun day. The vendors are the best part............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenniferBernard Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 I will be there Wednesday and Saturday. I am a member of the Des Moines Quilters Guild so I will be hanging quilts, have entered quilts, am white gloving and will be exhausted by Saturday night! I also some how got volunteered to make over 100 signs for a display of our guild family quilts called "Our Quilting Legacy". I am excited to be able to show my Dad's quilts, my step-mom,s, a great grandma's quilt, and the 1 quilt my mom made for my daughter. My daughter and my mom shared the same birthday. She was killed by a drunk drive after sharing only 3 birthdays with my daughter. It should be an interesting display judging by all the family stories I am typing!

JenniferBernard Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 I usually wear one of my quilted jackets with crystals on it. If you can't sparkle at a quilt show...where else can you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JenniferBernard Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 I finally finished over 100 quilt signs today for the Des Moines Area Quilters Guild. I some how got volunteered to do the Family Legacy quilt signs. We will have family quilts there from as far back as the 1890's. I get to help hand all those quilts on Monday. I am taking Tuesday off to recuperate before going back on Wednesday. I even got my dad and step-mom to go with me on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtreusch Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Maybe I can get Friday off to join you Julie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltedsunflower Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'm coming up on a bus from our local quilt shop on Wednesday. I came via bus last year and it was great. No driving hassle, no parking hassle, just lots of time to shop and see all those beautiful quilts. I wish we had some kind of "identifier" from the forum so we knew who was who. I'd love to meet some of you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
