How many people ar going to Houston from this board?
I am seriously thinking about it and keep checking the flight& hotels pkgs
KAthy

I went once and decided I didn't care for it as much as Paducah.

I'll go again but it's so big!

i'm going if i can save up enough $$$. that's lookin' a bit "iffy" right now, but you never know. :?

I am going to Houston this year with a group on a bus. We will stay two nights. I went once before about 3 years ago and enjoyed it, but I have been going to Paducah for about 5 years in a row and love it. We stay from Tues. to Sat. in Paducah and stay on the go the whole time. So much to do. Our motto is, "If they demonstrate it well, we will buy!"
Houston and Paducah are both nice, just different.

Someone wanna pick me up on the way? :)

I will Terry!!!
I am going this year as well. My friend and I did not go last year cause we planned on going to Paducah but it did not work out. We have been the 2 years before that. I will be there the Thursday & Friday. We like to go those days as it is not as crowded & crazy. If anyone will be there on those days let me know, maybe we can meet up.

I'll be waiting for ya. Just honk the horn when you get here!

I am planning on going in 2010 and I think I have talked quilter1962 (Tisha)
into joining me there!!

Terri, put on your swimmies and start now, you should be here by then! If you can make it to the Gulf of Mexico I'll have a shrimp boat pick you up and bring you to Galveston Bay then an oyster boat can pick you up and bring you to my dock and you can hitch a ride with me and Patrice!

When is the Houston show? I have a new nephew coming in the next couple of weeks and wouldn't it be a great coincidence to have a quilt show there when I go for my first visit? :mrgreen:

Will Do!!! :D :D :D

Jenell,
It is Oct 15,16, 17, & 18.

LOL I was wondering why you would want to come here- It's so hot - then I saw the quilt show comment- makes sense now lol

My mom and I will be going. We are lucky that I have an aunt that lives just outside of Houston we can stay with and it's only about a 3 1/2 hr. drive from where we live. We usually leave on Wednesday and spend Thursday and Friday there, it definitively takes 2 days to get the full scoop and sometimes my mom goes back on Saturday! She's 71, I'm 48 and I can't keep up with her! lol!

My daughter and I are seriously considering going to this. It would be our first big quilt show, and we really don't know what to expect. But it would be such a fun adventure!

WOW! My daughter called me this morning and said Mom I'll be working in Houston starting this month for three months. (she travels a lot for her job) I am one happy mom! A nice (free) place to stay and a chauffeur to boot! She'll be working a few blocks from the convention center. I'm going to Houston. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :!:

It's hard to put into words, but the first time It was amazing all the stuff in there. You walk in and go "OH MY GAWD" where do I start. The first year I have to cofess my friend and I did not even get to see any of the quilts on exhibit. There is just SO much to see. And yes it will be an adventure but you will love it.

Hi,

I just joined the board and I am going to Houston 2010.

I can't find info on the classes yet & I want to make sure about dates for arriving. Also, how to find out about the teachers now, since catalogues not out until much later.

This will be my first Houston and I am scared & excited 8-)

Star, i have been 3 times. you are gonna love it. i have the site with all the info. pm me and i will the info to you.

Thanks so much. I found & joined the quilt board as a result on internet about Houston.

It seems like a dream that I am making happen to go. I don't know anyone who has ever been. I feel it in my bones that I need to be there. It will be fun connecting with people thru the board who have gone & are going.

What is it that makes Houston so magic?
Have you taken any workshops.? No idea of what they offer and the info will not be out until June or July.

This feels like such a grand adventure.
:-D
