[gran5]

So glad that you will be there this year Ann. I was wondering recently if you would be there.

I am so glad to see so many familiar faces from the TQS blog are going to Houston. Congrats to Babrara & Bridget on quilts I acn't wait to see. I ahven't been to this blog for 3 weeks so it is good to catch-up on all the postings. Sorry UGH's but we will try to share the excitement of Houston wil you. This is my first time and I am so excited!

To those of you coming for the first time: I wish I could see your faces the first time you walk in the Convention Center. It is mind blowing! Course granted, I've never been to any other big quilt Festival, but do plan to pace yourself as there is so so so so so much to see!

I second what Lynn said. Also, the excitement at the TQS booth is unbelievable. Be sure to wear comfy shoes and a great big smile.

Be sure to try to get to the TQS booth every day at 1:00 for the daily Meet & Greet!

Wouldn't miss it!

Last year I had a leg injury and didn't get to come at all. Boo Hoo! I'm being very careful in Sept and Oct this year!!!! ha

[RobinQuilts]

Woo hoo - I'll be there too. I can't wait to meet everyone. My first trip to Houston and I'm looking forward to a great time.

Please add me to the list! Can't wait!


P.S. Wanda, I've sent you an e-mail

Looks like we will have a record TQS crowd this year! Cannot wait to see everyone.

[WandaM]

We have 35 confirmed so far! Last year we had 32.
Please be sure to send me an email if you are planning to attend. It just gets confusing trying to keep up with post and emails. I don't want to miss anyone. We want there to be plenty of fajitas to go around!!

Pam, The quilt that is going to Houston is "An Unaffected Grace". It is the last quilt in my profile. Hope You like it. Betty Ann

Betty Ann,
Wow! This is stunning! Especially the flow-y border :!: :!: :!:

Betty Ann,
That quilt is exquisite! Love the fact that you're able to use your Grandma's name-she must have been an inspiring person.

[eileenkny]

Yes, My grandmother started me on the quilting journey. I used a ball point pen (OMG) to mark around templates made from cereal boxes. I was too young for the shears but I helped with the marking. She taught me the importance of good technical skills. I carry on her heiritage with love and pride. Betty Ann

Wanda, I'm in. I only hope your numbers don't grow like our triangle exchange did. : )

Looking forward to meeting everyone.
