Talk about KOOL 8) . Love the map and the BOM meeting. Wish I could be part of the group - but my first grandchild will have just arrived!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: I must be arround to take all those pics. . I'm hoping to get back to the BOM this week - way behind with only 2 1/2 completed.
I will share the excitement from afar - so please keep us all posted on the events as they happen.

Virginia....we are talking about Fall of 2009!!! If the baby is already concieved it shouldn't be a problem!!! :lol:

OK...this is what Sue had to say about the flag idea!

Too funny! I’d be glad to do it – size? ideas? Applique or just ink something on a piece of fabric that attaches to… radio antenna (mine is built into the window so that wouldn’t work) or just tape roll into a back window? Obviously it will have to have the TQS star on it… and what else? Tell everyone NO CIRCLES, I PROMISE!!!!

So....what do you think? Do we need a special logo for flags/hats/teeshirts?????????????

I don't do hats well, can never find one to fit, but I love tee-shirts!

[Margo]

T-shirt and tote bag to hold our completed quilt (or all the luscious goodies purchased on our road trip)!

Meeting in St. Louis for a bus trip would be great for me. I have a cousin who lives in an Illinois suburb. All the logistics still have a long time to ferment and come together.

I agree with Ritzy & Maggie on the T-shirts and Tote Bags.

I'm really getting excited about this. My only hope is that it is not held on Aug 7, 2009. My dad will turn 100 and is expecting a "party". Assuming he is still with us I will be with him.

I just watched the show with Sue and sounds like she will be doing another BOM for '09. Guess we'll all be kept busy!

Hmmmm.....I hadn't thought of the flag....I was just picturing all of us in baseball caps with the TQS star over the words BOM SQUAD!
:lol:
And instead of a caravan, I think that meeting in St. Louis and taking one bus would be the way to go!!
The girls from the west can do the same thing from that side of the mountains!

Well, being the closest to La Veta, I can volunteer for the advance team responsibilities - maybe cold pitchers of margarita with snacks ready for you as the buses arrive in La Veta???? Knowing you creative girls, you'll think of some creative things for me to do to make it a fantastic event! :wink: Mary Kay

[mknavy90]

I'm always willing and ready for a road trip. Have van will travel is my motto. Pitcher of margaritas would be great. Camille

You gals are killing me! I may have to crash the party! Can I come even if I only get one block done!!! I think the pitcher of margaritas was the last straw - I might not be able to stay away!!! :-)

[MontanaGramma]

I'm pretty sure I can attend, since we've got over a year to get it all together, it should be a breeze, sounds like it'll be a lot of fun. Heidi

So Margo, Do you have me as a dot on your map? Just checking since I haven't checked this thread in a while, but did see your post about the map in your profile. I'm about 25 miles south of Olympia, WA.

Oops, Margo, I guess I just had to read a bit further to see that I am included... Great map, Bridget!! Way to go! Very nice to see who is where.

We would love to have you join us!!

[MontanaGramma]

Thank you, Margo. We will see as the time gets closer. It sounds like such a great time and a great opportunity to meet so many of the special people here!!! Maybe someday Ricky & Alex will organize a giant TQS retreat - it would be sooooo fun! You can put me on the map if you want :-)

Sherry, you are welcome to come to the party, but to get on the map you have to post a block!!!

[QuilterLynn]

Well, Sherry, guess you're gonna have to make at least one!

[QuilterLynn]

I want to go so badly that I can taste it. It all depends on DH's health a year from now. Maybe I can get a daughter to come stay with him. It's a long way off, but I sure want to be in on it :!: :!: :!:
