Hi, everyone, there's going to be a wonderful quilt show in Archbold, Ohio at Sauder's Village and KayT, Matilda, and I would like to invite one and all to a Meet and Greet at The Barn Restaurant on April 27th. We had such a wonderful time at the Meet and Greet in Shipshewana last fall that we couldn't resist doing something similar in Archbold.

We have reserved a room at The Barn at 1:00 April 27th for a buffet lunch. The quilt show is on the same property and so is the Sauder's Village and Quilt Shop. It's definitely a one-stop fun day! You can tour the Village for a fee or skip the Village and shop at the Village Quilt Shop which is fabulous for variety in fabrics, notions, books and just about anything a quilter would enjoy browsing

For the sake of simplicity we can meet in front of Founders Hall at the quilt show in the lobby at 9:30 or whenever works out for you. We will be sure someone is waiting for you. Later we can shop then meet at The Barn Restaurant for lunch, show and tell, a few fun games, and plenty of visiting with other quilters. Please wear a name tag to identify yourself and be creative with it! Here are some informational links for you to browse to give you an idea of what Sauders has to offer.

We are going - but on the 28th, it's the only day I could get off! I've been to the show the last 2 years, and it's an absolutely wonderful show, highlyr recommend it. Love it there. The shop is good too!

Dandish, I'm so sorry you can't join us! It is a great show, isn't it. And the entire Sauders Village has so much... my personal favorite (besides the quilt show and the quilt shop) is that bakery! yummmmmm But you have to shop early if you want to be sure to get anything.

I would love to be there, but we are going to Paducah!!!!
I'm so anxious for that but otherwise, I would have made it to Sauder Village and camped!

Have a great time in Paducah! Sometime I hope to go to that one, too. :D

Oh my goodness, I just realized that I left something out of the information....please feel free to bring a friend. I am bringing a friend who is not a member of QB but is interested in going to the quilt show and lunch with us.

had so much fun at shipshewana fall meet and greet need to do this also

I'm so glad you're going to join us.

Boy, I'll tell you after a winter like this one, I am sooo ready for this also. The only good thing about winter this year was the time spent quilting.

Come on Spring!
