    2009 MId-Atlantic Quilt Festival

    Are any of you planning to go to the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival next late February (in Hampton/Newport News, VA). My DIL (OriNebula) and I are going together and I just wondered if I could finally meet some of my friends I have made across the internet there. I know it's still three months from now, but I'm pretty excited about it.

    Hey There,
    I will be at Mid-Atlantic too. along with thousands of others. I also can't wait. I've signed up for two classes and one lecture. Usually only take one class and a lecture. My friend and I always stay at the Embassy Suites that is connected to the Convention Center which is a wonderful way to enjoy the show as we can go back and put our feet up whenever we need too. Will plan on wearing a TQS badge to the show so that we can all recognize each other. Hope to see you there!

        Welcome to the site!
        Yes, I go every year to that show too. It is like Quilter's Heaven. I am taking two classes this year and attending a lecture. There are two of us attending that are members of The Quilt Show, Dixlinda and myself. I hope that others will be attending.
        We plan on wearing our Quilt Show badges. Hope you all will too.

          Oh great! I just saw y'all's responses. I tried very hard several times to get into the Embassy Suites that is connected to the show, but they are full. I would love to stay there though. My daughter in law and I are both going. Hope to see you there. We plan to wear our badges. Cheers, Betty Jo

            Getting closer to MAQF!! Betty Jo, Beth, Janet and Patti, are you still going? Nina, will you be there? Anyone else????? I am trying to get my niece's graduation quilt finished in time so that I can personally deliver it to Norfolk that week-end. Nice coincidence, huh?

            I've not been to this show since the venue moved from Williamsburg, so I'm not familiar with the layout. Can someone recommend a convienent meeting place? It seems like 1:00 is getting to be the standard TQS meet and greet time for whomever is available....would that work for everyone? We just need to decide on a location.

            OK...I'm headed back to the sewing machine!!!

              Good Morning Everyone!
              The convention center where MAQF is held in Hampton, VA is absolutely a wonderful site compared to what we had in Williamsburg. I suggest that a good meeting place would be on the second floor where there is a large ballroom that serves the buffet lunch every day. I suggest outside the ballroom door on that second floor lobby area. 1pm sounds like a good time too.

                Thanks, Patti! I hope I can make it to the show, and if I can, I'll definitely be there for the Meet & Greet!!

                    Woo-hoo--I'm packed and ready to head off to Hampton in about an hour with Beth. Hope to see lots of you there. I will try to make the 1pm on Thurs, Fri, and Saturday, but I may not be able to make Thurs and Friday cause of classes. I'm excited.

                    I see from the blogs that HappyCampbell is coming too.
