Looks like everyone had a great time!
Thanks for sharing your pictures!

Would like to be on the list to be notified for the next one in the Atlanta area.

please post a message at the end of the thread from the original one and I'll use that to start organizing the next one. I'm almost feeling human from our trip so I can begin to look at a calender and try to coordinate the next one.Also anyone else interested please do the same!

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!

I LOVE A Scarlett Thread! That would be a great place to meet. I missed the first get together so I really hope to make this one. Since many of us work (like me!) a Saturday and Sunday would be best for meeting.

Yes, please feel free to set up more meet and greets in your areas so much fun.

I have already set up 4 so far and my 5th one is set for September 7, 2011.

You can meet at quilt shops, restaurants etc. in your area. I like to find a restaurant that we can have the private banquet room so it give us time to visit, eat, show and tell and also have demonstrations. Also maybe a quilt shop will have a room also so you can have it there and everyone bring in food.

You will be surprised about how far members will drive to a meet and greet. They are so much fun!
