Folks,

Marti has finally gotten in touch with Karen at A Scarlet Thread in McDonough Ga. http://www.ascarletthread.com/

The only date she has available is Nov 4 th. Karen will hold this date for us, but we need to know how many will be able to make it and she is willing to do a presentation for us if we can decide what we want to do.

This is a chance for those of you who are South of Atlanta so please respond in this thread as soon as possible, thanks, Jo & Marti

Date is open for me. What time?

NOW something like this is going on! After I move! :-)
I didn't get too many chances to go to the shop but I loved it. I went to their old location in the house not the new one. It was on the opposite side of Atlanta from me .

Time: 10 am until 3pm is what I scheduled but we should be able to stay as long as we want if we let them know.

Wish my friend and I could be there, but by then we will be back in Texas. We will be a Scarlet Thread Oct. 7 and 8. We go to McDonough to see family. But we always have to go to Scarlet Thread, great shop.

I will be there.

With that being a Friday I will say that I'm a maybe. If I'm working full-time by then I won't be able to come but if I'm still un/under employed I'll see y'all there!

I'm a maybe depending on our travel schedule, will know more as it gets closer, but i think it's an ok...altho if i come dh will be driving me as it's too far for me to do...but i'm sure they won't kick him out and i hope we won't either :lol: :lol:

They have a nice area with a TV set aside for hubbys but hope he'll want to join in on our fun and food too.

Probably, he's pretty social, i frequently call him "chatty cathy"....and he rarely turns down food

:lol: :lol:

Would love to come but that a big weekend down here--Mule Day in Calvary where my mother was from and Seafood Festival in Apalachicola where my good friend lives.

It looks like I am open for that date and would love to come.

Darn...I miss it again. Will be up in Milwaukee, WI that weekend shopping for wedding dress for DD.

I am planning to be there...

Any one else who's plans have changed so we can let Karen know how many to expect?

I'm still open that day and planning to attend.

I am still planning on attending.

I am still planning on attending.

Three of us board members are coming. Will we be doing food?

?????? I counted eight ;-) Or do you mean you and two friends not previously posted here? If so then ten. I'll bring the plates/cups/paper/utensils again (have them left over from Intown meet-up back in May) and drinks.

I think I may be bringing 2 more, I'll let you know as soon as I know and what about snacks this time rather then full fledged pot luck....or not if we're gonna be there from 10 am we might want to eat

Me and two not posted before. Snacks and desert sounds better won't have to keep it warmed up. What time is the meet up?

10 am to 3 or later if we want to hang later

Thanks keep me informed.

Wow, everyone have a great time and be sure to take a group photo of all of you and we love pictures for show and tell

My plans have changed. I am moving to another part of Germany short notice and will not be able to attend.

We'll miss you! Have a safe and happy move ;-)

In limbo here. Will have surgery on my nasal airway and soft pallet tomorrow. Dr. Says I'll be out of commission for 3 weeks, (I've taken that time off of work,) but I do tend to surprise people with my will and determination to recover quickly. I may have black eyes, swollen face, and be unable to eat, but I understand that A Scarlet Thread is worth the trip.

So sorry you won't be able to make it, but sounds like a great adventure is in the offing!

Yeah, it really is...we took you with bunged up knee, bunged up face is no big deal

BTW for those who are attending can we get the food down? I'll bring crackers, cheese and fruit to go with

I'm still coming. Will be glad to bring some food or snacks. Just let me know. Mona

I'll bring chicken salad, marinated veggies, nappa cabbage salad, bread & chips.

I'm coming and bringing 2 others - maybe 3.

I'll be there with paper products and tea and lemonade.

I can bring some sort of desert. Can it be a surprise, as I don't know what I will bake on Thursday yet? Looks like "laalaaquilter" and I will be traveling south for the get together. Anyone else traveling from the North area (I am in Ellijay) want to carpool, let us know. Mona

Tomorrow is the big day. Do we have a approximate count of attendees so I know how much to bake today? Mona

Mona I've been feeling really ill, but I'm going to try to make it, but I'll be just with DH who will have to drive me...a reminder to all who are interested please chime in if your plans have changed, thanks, Jo

I had a really great time at my 1st get together. Next time I will know to bring some show and tell. It was so much fun getting to put a face with people here on the board. Sorry you weren't feeling well Jo (Greenini), I missed getting to meet you. I was amazed at the quilts at our show n tell, we have some very talented people in GA. The food was great too. I had brought my camera, put it on the table so I wouldn't forget to take pictures, and forgot to take them anyway. I thought about this afterwards. It would have been great to be able to post a group shot. Next time. Thanks for all who were involved in putting this together. Karen's demonstration of the pineapple ruler was great.

How many made it? I'm so sorry I had to miss it, but I was just in really bad shape.
