houston quilt show in nov 2010

And I can't wait to see what the BOM (s?) for 2011 will be!

[Margo]

Maybe when we get closer someone could post a list here of names and screen names and who they are traveling with? I will be there and my husband is planning to come, too!!

The first year we did this, I printed out a couple of pages with that info and included profile photos. It really helped me recognize TQS friends!! Maybe that all can't be posted here, but it could be a file that could be e-mailed to anyone who requests it.

Maggie, if you have already started a list, could you take on this project?

[MontanaGramma]

Great idea, Margo! And wow - your hubby is coming with you! How fun!

[Scoopie]

Margo, I love how you jumped in and delegated the job to Maggie! LOL But, what a wonderful idea! I have a running list of about 22, and was trying to figure out how to get all of the "real" names and faces attached to them, as sort of a "cheat sheet." Can't wait to meet everyone! Dawn

[Margo]

Yep! A cheat sheet! When I did it, I just created a word document for all the info. Then I did a rightclick/copy/paste on each of the profile photos, and listed the screen name, real name (if shown on the profile) and who they would be traveling with. I also made notes of what days people said they expected to be at the show. Yeah...I'm weird....but it was great to have all that info at my fingertips and the photos were a huge aid to help me spot people.

[MontanaGramma]

Love it, Margo. You are soooooooo organized :-)

Well Margo - you did it again. I was also thinking about making a list, but looks like you have it covered. Houston is closer every day. Can't wait.

Hi Wanda, can you put my name (Maureen) and my sister (Irene) down for the Thursday evening with TQS friends. We are coming from Scotland the Thursday before and staying at the Hyatt. We are really looking forward to the show and meeting lots of TQS members and the whole experience of being in Houston.

Any chance of sharing that list via email? I'm sure I could do it, but it would be so much easier to copy someone elses! Yah, I'm not too proud to ask! :-)

[MontanaGramma]

Robin Gold said she would be glad to put together a pdf file for all of us. So if Maggie & I send her whatever lists we come up with, she'll take it from there :-)

[gran5]

Advance thanks to robin!!!

[Margo]

ROBIN ROCKS!!!

I want that list! I'll be working Market and Festival and mostly live on the 3rd floor of the GRB convention center from 7 am until late most nights. I usually get to see some of you who are taking classes upstairs. It's always my goal to make the Meet and Greet at 1 pm but that never happens. I will be at Preview night Wednesday so I'll spend some time at the booths then--TQS, Ricky Tims and Superior--we get that night off to shop!

I'll probably be "working the line" at Ricky's concert too so I get to see many of you then. Look for my TQS badge--I wear it along with my staff badge.

Now I have to get 2 garments done--we wear specific fabric lines on specific days. That helps us with packing for 2 weeks and makes us recognizable as staff. Be sure to say "hello" as I go zooming by to some job.

I will be there for preview night and all day Thursday, but unfortunately my bus leaves for home at 7:00 so I will miss the dinner. I hope you all have a great time!

Anybody remember the song from the '50s entitled "Rockin' Robin"?
