Hey you traveling quilters::::
Oklahoma City will be hosting the winter show Jan. 12, 13, & 14. There are many good hotels and motels. Some dowtown and some a little further out. OKC is very easy to get around in and I will be willing to help anyone that wants to come!
Go on line to Oklahoma Winter Quilt Show and check it out.

I went last year..had a wonderful time.

If the weather isn't bad then I will probably go.

Thanks Dix, I might use my free rooms at Riverwind Casino and drive the extra mileage. LOL. SO glad to meet you in Houston, I am going to try to come up there for this one. Will have to see who else wants to ride.

Thanks. We just might be there. We don't have an itinerary, but I've always wanted to see the memorial. I could do both.

HI DIx. I have a flyer from the quilt show that says "the biggest quilting and sewing expo's in oklahoma city Jan 13-15 Cox convention center. David Taylor, Eleanor BUrns, Ya-ya sisters and Sandra Betzina are there. Is this the same one???

That's the one. Would love to have you spend the night with us.

I am putting it on my calendar . I will figure out the room later. Not a problem. And only 4 hours+ from me. So close. Yeah. Another show. Thanks Dix

Are you entering anything Dix?

I might enter a Cross wall hanging and a Boy Scout quilt I did for hubby.

I HOPE to make it to the Show...I'm SUCH a hermit! But this is another incentive!

Oh, I want to go to this. I live in Choctaw, Ok so this is ssssssooooooo close.

jennifer, i live in choctaw too. it will be easy for us!

dix, i saw something about classes, can you tell us more about this. i new to quilt shows and don't really know what to expect.

Go to Oklahoma Winter Quilt Show.com This should have all the classes and info you need.

My husband came home today and said, "Hunny, I almost followed someone home because I seen their license plate that said QUILTB (sp?) I wanted to find you a quilting friend that lives close. I responded, "thank goodness you didn't. I would be scared to death if a strange man followed me home and was approaching my car. Lol!

Dix, it's gtting closer. I am so happy to get to come up there. I will call you after xmas and we can figure out where to meet. *H*U*G*S*

Wonderful, which day are you looking at? We usually go on Friday, but I can do anytime!

I went last year, too. My daughter and I loved it. I got lots of great ideas and some wonderful "wonder book" material. My daughter is getting a Saggy Baggy Elephant quilt for her birthday. It was her favorite book as a child.

Will be there one day, we need name tags with Quilting Board Member on them, so we can meet each other. Won't be taking classes, working, but plan to drool over all the great work.

Show is also on the 15th Sat.

Have been looking for some Texas Bluebonnet fabric, but haven't found exactly what I want, want to make a quilt for Sister in Houston. Have been working with computer and trying to print some pictures off, ran out of ink. I've seen all thats currently out there, but if anyone has old pieces, with big bluebonnets!

Moda has a new collection with bluebonnets, matches one out earlier. Check out Moda's homepage...look under "new stuff."

Checked out names, etc. Moda's "Sentimental Studios" had out "Shades of Blue" with blue bonnets. ALSO (newer) have "Wildflowers IV" with bluebonnets. Hope this helps. (smile)

Hi all, usually Randa who is from Hennessey, OK and has the shop Prairie Quilts will have a gi

She has a big booth just inside the front door to the left. We could meet there on what ever day is best!

i'm one of the people newer to quilting. it will be my first big quilt show. is one day enough if i'm just a lookie lou (and maybe, okay, definitely, a shopper). i didn't see a workshop i thought i could stay up with or really wanted to take. that said, one day or two?

One day, long day is enough. I have never taken a class, so I am no help there. It really is fun,especially if you take a friend!

Dix, I will be at the Winstar Casino Hotel from the 12-14th. So the best day for me is either 13th or 14th. I hopefully will be with Quiltfanatic. Can't wait to see you. I will have on my Quilting board denim shirt and wearing a red fluffy boa so you can find me. We can talk adn exchange cell numbers again before then. PM me if you can meet on the 13th. *H*U*G*S*

Linda, intended to answer you sooner. There is a quilt shop in Kerrville,TX, called Creations. I have bought some really pretty bluebonnet fabric. They will mail you a piece or a whole order. They are really nice there.

I will be meeting with our group on Tues and we will decide which day to go. Will let you know. We usually go on Friday. Does it matter which day to you. Will you be in a hotel on Thursday or Friday? We could meet for dinner also. I will pm you on Tues evening.

I have my rooms for wed - friday. Can't wait to see you again, Dix. I am hoping to go there on Thursday and Friday morning before we come home. Depends on how I feel etc. *H*U*G*S*

If you come on Friday would be happy to have you spend the night, and anyone you bring!
