Second year for me and my quilting buddy. We live about an hour away and drive in just for one day. To do that we have to take a personal day off from work. Oh well!

We didn't know what we were looking at last year, but this time we have a little more experience under our belts.

Parking was the biggest problem. Someone has mentioned valet parking. Definately going to check on that.

I've been looking to see if there were shuttles from the outlying areas or valet also, I'm taking classes 3 days and we're going to the "show" on Saturday. Patty and I last year made 4 x4 nametags? with QB and then our Board Name and then our real names

My friend was called and informed that she won a cash prize on her quilt and she asked me to go with her. It is the first time for both of us and we are so excited. We have our plane tickets, hotel room, etc. We can hardly wait.

you need to let us know which is her quilt, so we can go look at it

You REALLY need to come and stay overnight so you can go back a second day ! You need 2 days to shop and see all the quilt exhibits. Come on Fri and stay over for Sat. There are a lot of hotels in the Galleria or SW/W Houston areas that are much more affordable than the downtown hotels.
As far as I know there aren't any shuttles to the show from outlying areas, unless LQS have ones going ? :)

I am hoping to get to go, have never been, but I absolutely hate Houston traffic! :thumbdown:
And it is a 4 hour drive for me, used to do it a lot, but haven't in a number of years, so not so sure I will make it.

Yes, I am going down on Wednesday and returning late Friday.

My friend's name is Paulette Landers and the quilt is called Jubilation. It's an abstract bird with a lot of lime green and deep rose or purple and peach. We are looking forward to which prize she won on it.

Staying over - I'm not sure we're quite ready for that. Not taking any classes. Can look pretty fast. Limited budget for spending. Perfectly happy to do the one day. When I'm ready to stay I have many options. My mother and my daughter live in Houston and would be more than willing to have us stay - and my husband would make a great chauffer.

Last year we really didn't know what we were looking at. Maybe this year we'll feel more knowledgable. Then next year?? Maybe shop till we drop!

AND ... we're going on Friday so if we decide we just haven't seen enough - we'll find a way to stay.

I wouldn't miss it!
