That would be great if you could join us :lol: And everyone knows I AM the quiet shy one :wink: I just get dragged into trouble :roll:

Well, I want everyone to know that I'M the one who can talk all the time....I spend a lot of time not having anyone to talk to about quilting/sewing. But when I do, look out 'cause I'll talk your ear(s) off..............

oh good, sewjoyce! I have a soft voice, but I can get rolling!
Just never learned to speak up much,...well, I sometimes know how to be heard, but it's gotta be something important to me.
I have a feeling we'll all be yacking it up, before it's over :wink:

oh, and suzie? blame your poor little dog! :mrgreen:
...and Sharonb? :roll: :lol:

Pam that would be great if you could make it :lol: The more the merrier :wink:

Aren't there any other quilters in the area that would like to join us???? :D :D :D

Amma, Did we scare them off with our silly stuff? :shock: I was sure that we had a lot of quilters in that general area....

I hope not!!! :? :? :?
I am hoping they know that we were just joking....that we will all be too busy chatting, shopping and eating to get into any trouble 8) 8) 8)

Dang! Colorado is too far away from you all. I would LOVE to be there! As we said before, please (if everyone there doesn't mind) please take loads of pictures. **plopping down in the corner pouting some more**

Ducky, I wish that you could be there, too!!!! Don't pout, it's not a good look on you....I may accidentally step on it coming over to give you a (((HUG)))

I wish that we could get all of us together! Boy, would the town be able to handle us? It would be so nice to really talk to each other.....

A 7899+ member convention :D :D :D
Wouldn't that be something!!!! I bet it would break some kind of record for any one quilting board meeting :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Talk about all the planning-- where to have this mamoth meeting ???and boy wouldn't that be a boon to the LQS ! LOL

I bet we could get them to close to the public and just take care of us....in a convention center LMBO

poor terri, she misses out on so much :cry:

What a fun and crazy time for all! Will be anxious to hear all about the exciting day!:)And, is there a fund we are sending donations to so you can have a 'get out of jail' free coupon?:)LOL Skeat

Hey hadn't hought about that .. maybe we better start one :wink: I have "heard" I am meeting up with a rowdy bunch ! LQS Watch out :lol:

I want you there too, (((Ducky))). I do wish everyone could go. It will be a lot like any shopping/eating out day, except with a bunch of fellow board members/quilters...more's the fun! How great to have others there, when you spy that 'perfect' fabric, and have somebody understand!
It'll be like a bunch of grandma's at the hospital nursery window:
"oh, look at this one!"
" This is so cute!"
" Oh, I just gotta take that one home with me!" :wink:

But, just wait till she gets back to the states! She can have a 'round up'.
There's got to be a lot of us, here in the south. Maybe we could all go to Karla's and get on the web cam and wave to you all! :mrgreen:

Ducky Do you have a cell phone ? Free weekends are the best !

And I am the favorite Auntie... :wink:

like a Shriner's convention! We could even have a quilters parade...with the Great Kong leading the way!...and we could toss bananas to the public :lol:
nurse in er: how'd ya get that shiner?
patient from crowd: It was a walk by fruiting! :mrgreen:

Hey Amma, remember these?:
Amma, Amma, give me your answer true,
I'm quiltncrazy, and wondering if you are too?
I have to have my fabrics,
and just can't kick the habit...
So it'd be sweet,
If we could meet,
And go shopping for me and you. by QC

There is nothing that I would like better
than to have the mailman deliver a letter

One glance at the return addy, you see
would make me dance around with glee

For this would mean mousie is on her way
to come visit, shop, eat, sew and play

We'd chatter all day and through the night
quilting and laughing while having a bite

The time will pass so quickly when you are here
so we shall have to plan this again for next year by Amma

and now it's really gonna happen...yippee!!!!! :D

I just know there are a few more that have seen this, and thinking, "oh, I would love to do something like that, but a little too shy. I would be by myself, with a bunch of ppl I don't REALLY know."
We are fellow quilters and board members, so we know we have lots in common. None of us are gonna be alone, I promise. Quilters are some of the best ppl you can find, and they really look out for each other. It would be so much fun, and don't want anyone that can really go, to let, their, 'shyness', stop them. You just have no idea, how much my family has helped me to come out of my shell, and I am glad for it. Come on, please. When your 80 and in your rocking chair, you will look back with no regrets for the fun, you 'didn't' have :wink:

Yep, I remember that poem LOL
I love your sense of humor :D

We have several new members who have joined the board in this last week who are fairly close to where we are meeting!!!
I hope you will consider joining us on the 26th... :D :D :D

I hope so too! It's just a little driving, meeting up, exchange names and stuff. Go find some good food, and then hit the fabric stores, woo hoo! Even if you don't have a lot of money, just some gas, a meal and some fat quarters. Then hopefully we'll all have a good gab session and get some great pics, to go with the memory of our day. It's sure to be lots of fun...you know you really want to :wink:

Have you decided in what city we're meeting?

We were kinda waiting on seeing who all would decide to join us....maybe give it another week???

Okey, dokey :D

This is what I was thinking too. I pm'd you sewjoyce. Hi Amma, (waving)...I'm supposed to be 'caving', got a headache, as soon as paink. kicks in, I am back to the grindstone, lol! :wink:

We are getting close to picking a location to meet at.....do we have any other members who would like to join us???? :D :D :D

me-me-me-me!!!...oh yeah, right,
I AM GOING! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
just checking to see if you are paying attention, out there :wink:

I'll be there ! ********Jumping up and down in excitment *********

Oh yea you already know that :lol:

Alright you two!!!! :lol: :lol: :roll: :roll: :lol: :lol:

Just remember I am the quiet shy one in the corner just minding my own business http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/s...angelic002.gif

I am going to make a badge for you to wear at the meeting 8) 8) 8)

I think I should be afraid ! LOL...Very afraid !

****raising my eyebrows up and down****
I am not saying another word :wink: :wink: :wink:

:lol: This sounds interesting! :lol:

I don't know if I should try to come or not, you guys might wear off on me. Ha! Ha!

I am still going to be there if possible.
