How about getting together on Saturday Aug 29 at Summerlake Park in Tigard? We could meet at 1:00.
Bring your picnic quilt and come meet other members.
What do you think?
PM me if you have other suggestions. Let's plan something!

I'm not sure if I can or not yet...I am waiting to hear tomorrow on when my nieces surgery is going to be.... I will keep an eye on this post for sure though. I would love to join you!!! :D :D :D

Just found this!!! It's a great idea....but that's this weekend and I have company!!! Keep me on any mailing list for future! Oh, and I live in LaPine, south of Bend....it's quite a drive, but I'd do it if I could!

It is pretty short notice-trying to get it in before the rain hits :lol:
If someone has a better idea-very open to suggestions. Maybe someone knows of an indoor space for a little later in the fall. ???
And of course we could have more than one!

Someone mentioned getting together for a quilt show in the Salem area, I want to say in October???

Do Tell! That would be fun! Any idea of the date? Location?
We could do that instead if it is easier for people to plan on.

My guild has a quilt show in Lebanon October 17-18.

Salem has Quiltopia October 2-4: http://www.quiltedforest.com/other/Q...a2009_info.pdf

Portland has the the NW Quilting Expo September 24-25-26 - http://www.nwquiltingexpo.com/

I hope to attend them all and would love to meet up with others.

I'm up here in Tacoma, Wa and I know of a couple of others from around here...
I am sure we would love to meet...
There is the sew expo coming up as well as a great fabric store in Portland (can't remember the name right now)
But please keep me informed as I would love to meet anyone from this board...
Sounds like fun!
Kirsten
PS...maybe we should do a quilt retreat at Cannon Beach or Seaside? Or better yet, one of us should win the retreat prize at Sew Expo

Are you thinking of Fabric Depot in Portland?

how about the Mill End Store, on SE Mcloughlin Blvd???? I LOVE that place!

I'm planning on going to the NW Quilting Expo (Portland) on Saturday, the 26th. Would love to meet anyone there.

The quilt shows in Salem and Lebanon sound great too. I'd love to go.

A quilting retreat would be lovely! I have two little boys (ages 3 & 5) so my dreaming availability may not match up with my calendar availability, but . . . we'll see. :lol:

sounds like fun, but a very long drive for me. Please take lots of pics

i can't make this, but I did post a message yesterday, and it is not here??? :roll:

ok, no mystery...2 messages....ahh :wink:

Instead of the park this weekend, how about Saturday Sept 26 at the NW Quilting Expo? Sounds like there will be several that are able to attend.
What do you think of that plan?

NW Quilting Expo sounds great. I'll double check with my sitter (Grandma :wink: ) but I think I should be able to be there any time that day.

Jen

Sounds like a lot of fun. I'd love to attend but I hate driving in Portland.

I will be in KY on the 26th with some of the other board members that day, but I would love to go to the guild show in Lebanon Oct 17 or 18!!! :D

Or there is the expo that is up here in Puyallup...
I guess that was the one that I was talking about.
:oops:
Kirsten

And I'll look forward to seeing you!

I am going to try for the Saturday date at the Northwest Quilter's in Portland. I usually go with others from my guild, and I'm not sure if they've already picked out another day.

Are you talking about the Sewing and Stitchery Expo around the end of February/beginning of March every year? I love going to that! Last year I just drove up for the day, but the previous two years I spent several days there.

Me and my 2 quilting friends go every year. We stay with my sister in Siverdale and drive over everyday. It's awesaome. Great seminars.

We are also talking about going to the NW Expo in Portland this year. Have never been but looking forward to it.

Would love to do the meet and greet. Let me know.

Joey

I can go either day....or I may even go both :D

Anyone still wanting to meet on Saturday at the NW Quilting Expo? How does mid-day sound? Is there a place there with tables/chairs, tea/coffee, etc.? It's been several years since I've gone so I'm a little foggy on the layout. Hope others are still planning to go . . . .

Jen

Jen!
I want to!

Are you riding MAX?
I think that would be the best way for me to get there.

Hi Alice,

No MAX this time for me. I'll be driving. I'm in Beaverton, but need to drop the boys off at my mom's house in King City on my way.

What time would you like to meet? I'm going mainly to browse the booths so can be there anytime. So glad you're coming!

Jen
