Thanks everyone for the PM's on the pp. I am sure that Laurie will give us all some really valuable info on pp. I have done had a class on it and hope to pick up some tips.

If my PM back to you sounds kinda different it is just because I am using the same response back for all the request so that I can keep to the system I have going in getting the pattern emailed to everyone who would like one.

Thanks and see y'all a week from today! Wooo hooo,

Actually, I think paper piecing is one of those processes that once you 'get it' it is simple--for me it was like a light bulb going on :idea: :idea: But it can be tricky at first, and seems to be SEW much easier to have someone show you.

So, IMHO, once you master an easy block, you can make any PP block. :-D

I do believe that some of us are getting excited about our weekend! There is chatter on the thread again! I was beginning to think everyone went to sleep! :)

Laurie: I would still love to have your paper piecing class as I've not done too much PP and know that I'd learn lots from what you have to teach. Also, my sister Sharon is a brand new quilter-want-to-be and I think she'd really benefit from your class. I appreciate that you are willing to teach the class.

I think they were catching some zzzz now before all the fun begins!
I am getting packed and gathering supplies. Sounds like we are going to have too much food! So much for the diet!

I drove by the house yesterday and thought I should tell you all that the parking isn't quite as large as they make it out to be! Please do your best to carpool and/or bring the smallest vehicle you can! The website says 10 cars can park but it is more like 6-8 tight! We have a total of 18 people coming. We'll work it out but I thought I'd let you know!

I'll also do a last post on Wednesday with all that I know about food and PP! Looking forward to meeting all the new people and seeing all the "originals"! :)

This sounds like you are all going to have a great time. I would love to hear about another get together in the future, what fun it would be.

I'm at the beach this weekend and since I'm quilting next weekend, I didn't bring my machine (and there really wasn't room for it in the van with 6 people) but I did bring some quilt books to look through. And I found a quilt shop yesterday. Having major withdrawals. I had to buy some yarn and knitting needles to get through the weekend.

Can't wait for next weekend!

Darn, sorry I can't go, but have a great time! I am going on a retreat the 6-9th of June, at a place on Lake Cavanaugh. It is an absolutely gorgeous setting. Here are a couple pics.

That looks really nice! Have fun.
