Going to visit my daughter. Would like to meet up with any QB members in the area if possible. Was 'chatting' with another member and we're talking about meeting in Woodland Park on Friday, July 16. Anyone else want to meet?

I grew up in Colorado Springs. There are some lovely LQSs there! (I live about an hour north of Colorado Springs now, but am down there a bunch because my in-laws live there.) There are some beautiful places to visit, such as Garden of the Gods. Enjoy!

I grew up in Colorado...and even tho I lived primarily on the Western Slope, I've been to CS many times! :) Love the area...

You're right. Garden of the Gods is beautiful. The church at the Air Force Academy is another 'must' to visit. Visited the Zoo - that was so much fun, a zoo in the mountain top. There are some quaint shops in Manitou Springs, a fun place to just walk and taste all the different waters. There is so much to do there and in the surrounding area.

I've been to Ruth's Stitchery and High Country Quilts. Great shops.

Would be fun if you could join us on the 16th.

Unfortunately, my SIL will be out of town, or I could have dropped my kids off for the day. My brother and she lives near Woodland Park. I might see if my MIL will watch them. I had planned on asking her to watch them so I could go to the Rocky Mountain Sewing Expo the week before this date, so I will have to see. :-)

I'm sure looking forward to your visit and getting to meet you! You'll love "Nuts & Bolts Needleworks" quilt shop here AND of course, there are some terrific places to eat up here! :thumbup:

Anyone else want to join in on the fun?

I do so glad I seen this before I got my plane tickets. Was going back home on the 15th but will stay a couple days longer. Going out on the 10th to visit my daughter and grandkids. Hope to see you there.

WOO HOO - this is so funny - we have to go 1600+ hundred miles and we'll finally get to meet. And we don't live that far from each other here in Michigan. I love it. Looking forward to it. I'm leaving on the 12th.
