- - Proposed Georgia QB members Meet Ups (https://www.quiltingboard.com/offline-events-announcements-discussions-f16/proposed-georgia-qb-members-meet-ups-t145316.html)

All Georgia QB members, and those who live in surrounding states:
in Sept there is the E cobb quilt show on 9/16, 9/17 and 9/18

In Oct there is the commercial Georgia Quilt show, Oct 20, 21 and 22

In Nov we were thinking about a get together on the south side of Atlanta at A Scarlet Thread, a very nice and HUGE quilt shop for those who haven't been there.

In order to make these meet ups happen, we're thinking that a poll of those who are interested will give us the best time to schedule a meet-up at the two events and then to schedule the Nov one. We can do the same thing in Nov we did in May, which was a pot luck lunch, some show & tell, some market info from Sarah Philips, the shop owner of Intown Quilters (in Nov we wouldn't be getting this presentation but maybe the shop owner would do something else) , some shopping, a lot of getting to know each other and some help from other QB members on things.

If we want a more formal presentation, we might try to get one from a QB member, the topics of interest seemed to be OBW's (and a gorgeous one was there, but I know I'd like some help in choosing the best fabric of the couple I've picked up and then lining up the first one before I cut into all that fabric!), some paper piecing interest was expressed...what all are you interested in seeing? Twister? A sit n sew? It'll be our meeting so let's decide what we want and make it happen!!

Any and all ideas are welcome as is help in organizing and coordinating I hope to be able to schedule something so that all who were there AND those who couldn't make it but wanted to will be able to attend!

Please keep the messages public as I'm not the only one working on this and it'll be easier for us, thanks!

How Exciting! Currently, I'm available all days of both shows. I will NOT be available on 18-19 November. The week after is a no-go because of Thanksgiving, and the week before is a long weekend for many because of Veterans Day. November 5th is payday weekend - sounds good to me.

I'm volunteering at the October show on Saturday but don't know what time yet. Any weekend in November sounds good, and I'm out of town that weekend in September. I'll watch for further posts....May was so much fun!

I would be interested in the September and October meetings. I hope to be able to attend the quilt show in October. I know November is out for me to many other obligations that month. I am in Newnan.

would be interested in sept and october meet ups.

Would be interested in meet up any time at a scarlet thread . People are wonderful there

I would be interested in the October time frame.

I plant to attend the East Cobb show!

I always go the A Scarlet Thread Black Friday sale so would love to meet in November.

our guild is volunteering so we can have a booth at the October show. not sure what days i will be there but could be all three.

I would love to come and will be going to the Georgia Expo but not sure about East Cobb. I just hope it's not a Sunday as I'm a church organist and it's hard to get someone to sub for me.
