BethDurand Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Well I'm going to be at the shop at 5:30am, serving coffee and then breakfast on the bus. I'll think of you all! I'll be looking for a quilt made by 2 of my friends from the shop, and I quilted it! Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Of all the years that I lived on the west coast, you would have thought that I would have at least gotten there once, but nope...so I don't think its going to happen this year either....but I keep thinking I need to go.

dancingstitcher Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Have fun on the trip and enjoy all the quilts. I'm going to Quilt Camp in the Pines in Flagstaff, AZ. It's a week long camp for quilters to learn from national teachers held on the campus of the university. Should be cooler up there. Post a picture of the quilt you find that you stitched Beth. The setting for the show looks really nice. Vicki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lib Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 I am going to Sisters. In fact, I am going with my sister and a bus load of quilters from Salmon Arm, BC. This is the first time I have gone to a quilting show with a group and I am sooo looking forward to it. Lib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patch Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Yay! I just bought a ticket on the H2H bus Beth will be feeding!! Can't wait for breakfast, Beth! LOL! So I'll be seeing you there, I hope, Lib. This is the first one ever I've done too. Won't it be fun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltermidwife Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 I am going to be at Sisters and am really looking forward to it. I live in the UK and my husband will be on a business trip. Today (Saturday) we are travelling to Denver (currently sitting in the lounge at Newark). We have a break before travelling to Seattle so I ceased the opportunity to spend the weekend at Sisters. Hubby is very happy to accompany me. I don't own a long arm machine YET, but hope to next year, so I was really pleased to find that APQS will be there. Have been reading threads on this website for a few months so it will be interesting to see some people in the flesh. Waiting in great anticipation Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CucumberQuilting Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Come see us! The Crook Country Quilt Guilds, AM and PM from Prineville, will be at the corner of Hood & Spruce, the SouthEast end of town, on the lawn behind the pizza place. Pizza by the slice, and REALLY IMPORTANT, not far from the restrooms!!! Our special display this year: Pieced Circle quilts. Another don't miss it: The first time Sisters has featured a longarm quilter. Lori Gailey, from Sisters is the quilter. This is sponsored by APQS! Thanks Lori is a sweetheart and you'll love to see her quilting. She's going to be across the Hwy (Cascade Street) to the North of our display on Larch Street by the Wild Dusty Rose store. APQS will be right behind The Stitichin' Post. Our fabulous gals (name removed) and Sherry Rogers will both be there. Bring your camera, bring a friend, bring your pocket change! ~~ Eva H.

Patch Posted July 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 I have a dear friend who will meet me there for lunch, I think, but needs a good place to park. She didn't want to go because of all the traffic and no parking, but to see me she will attempt it, so sweet of her! So I thought I'd ask around to see if I can help her out. Your pizza by the slice sounds like a great idea, Cuke. Will be great to see your stuff, and YOU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CucumberQuilting Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 I've always had good luck with parking, but I don't mind walking a bit either. Have your friend try parking on the North side of the main Hwy road (that's Cascade Street) and towards the East end of town nearer the Sisters Library. What's cool about that is the COOL. The library is air conditioned, has restrooms, always has a wonderful special display and a used Book SALE. :cool: That may seem like a long way from the Stitchin' Post and the things going on up there, but if she's up to the walk there and back it could be worth finding an easier place to park.

Patch Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Thanks, Cuke. I just emailed my friend this idea. She loves to walk a lot, so shouldn't be a prob for her, though I don't know about me, LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethDurand Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hey Patty, We've still got open spots on our bus. Why don't you and your friend go with us, and chat all the way over and back. That way neither one of you would have to park or even drive! Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Not this year! They're fixing the old highway (242), so I can't sneak into town the back way and avoid all the traffic. I do see that they will be diverting traffic from the main drag in town though, so crossing the street will be easier for all. Have fun gals. I'll catch ya next year!

Patch Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Beth, I sent you a U2U. Linda, wish you were going to be there too. We'll just have to look twice, once for us and once for you, ok? right.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patch Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Oooo, I'm getting so excited!!! Can't wait to meet you too, Sherri and Linda! I will certainly be looking for Lenni, among others. Two and a half more days! Two and a half more days! We're going to Sisters, hooray!! Ok, I'll put away my pom-poms now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patch Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Well..... now I"m looking for someone to ride over the river with at 5:00 am Saturday. I don't know the area there all that well, and really don't like the idea of getting lost in the almost dark, plus where will we all leave our cars??? ANYBODY OUT THERE ON THE WEST SIDE GOING WITH H2H TO SISTERS?....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattyJo Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Hi all - yes I will be going over to Sisters with a Friend from Salem. We will be leaving here about 6:30 am and I'll be sure to stop and see Sherry & Linda. Hope to see some of the others too. I'm going to be wearing a white "Cowgirl" hat with some magenta flowered hat band on it - does that give anyone a clue about my personality or lack there of???? If you see anyone fitting that discription, other than me, it is my twin!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Well, I can't go this summer, but who knows about next year. It sounds like the entire town gets involved - maybe like Paducah? I will have to get the dates to these quilt shows way ahead of time...like 4 or 5 months in advance so I can make my arrangements (and save my money & vacation time). I just loved my almost week in Paducah, so I'm sure I would feel the same at these other shows. I am going to a show in Harrisburg, PA on a LQS bus trip. It is on a Saturday and will just be the one day. It will be great fun, but staying overnight with the girls is so much more fun - like a big pajama party with Marguerita's:) Will Lenni be at the Harrisburg show? It is in the beginning of September. I would love to try one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
