I am part of a group of Mississipp Quilters that are heading to Houston by bus on November 3. I've been two others time but in a car with other quilters. I am thinking this bus trip is going to be a blast. Just think riding that distance with fifty other quilters.

Sounds as if you'll be having some real fun with 50 other quilters, maybe we can meet up?
I'm in Houston for the full four days before flying off to GA & then a week later fly back home to the UK :P

I just ordered tickets for my friend's Birthday. she lives in Houston so i really hope she goes this year. She almost went last year but her dtr had to fly to The Phillipines on business and she wouldn't go alone.

That sounds good. Will you have a cell phone when you are at the show? If not, we can plan another way to meet.

I am planning on going to the quilt show and was wondering if anyone has taken their classes. I would love to take a couple while I am there and am wondering if they supply sewing machines or do we need to bring our own. I am out of town, so it would be pretty much impossible for me tobri g mine. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I hate to discourage you from trying to get into a class, but there may not be any openings available at this late date. Most of the quilters I know who sign up for classes do so within the first 48 hours after registration is open. I registered for 6 classes and one of them was already filled.

If you do get into a class, there is a materials list for each class.

There are several "mini" classes available in different areas throughout the quilt show. When you get to the GRB, get a program and check them out. Some are free and some may cost you $5 ot $10, but the project you leave with is usually well worth the cost.

There is a bulletin board that you can check and see if any classes are for sale.

Yes I do have a mobile (cell phone) & I will have it with me for certain. PM me & let me know where you are going to be staying or are you coming for the day?
I think there may be a few ladies in our hotel from various locations across this board.
:D

I wish I could! It will be great fun for you.

I should have included this information with my first reply.

This link will take you to the Festival website. Scroll down and click on Check Class Availability to see what classes are still open. Download a copy of the class catalogue for descriptions of the classes and the supply lists and instructions on how to register online.

Good luck.
