Is it OK for anyone to join the group on the 19th and was this the Shipshawanna group or the MI group? I'd like to go if I can.

All the excursions are open to all board members. By moving around to the different cities and posting on the board we are hoping to encourage member get-togethers and give us a chance to meet, share, and make new friends. It's always fun to put a face with a name. Thanks for all the info and hope you can make it. I won't be able to make all the get-togethers but will be at the ones I can.
Craftybear is coordinating October 19th in Shipshewanna. Let her know if you plan on going and she will add your name to her list. We are trying to get a carpool together for Michiganders going. Maybe Kim (Watterstide) will feel up to it by then.

There is also a nice resturant between Brighton and Howell (but a little closer to Brighton called Grand River Cafe I think it is called. It is pretty good.
Craftybear is planning a get together Oct 19th. I am planning to go. Will you be going?

Matilda - trying to get car-pooling set up to go to Shipshe but I'm getting confused. Can't remember which thread it's on.
Does this sounds like a plan for October or early November:
Meet at Carol's store (Creative Quilt Kits - 8599 W. Grand River, Brighton)
Head off to Monarch Quilts between Brighton and Howell (2100 Grand River Annex, Brighton)
Then have lunch at the Grand River Cafe (Matilda do you have an address? ) before we take off to:
The Stitchery, 1129 East Grand River Avenue, Howell
Wendy's Simple Stitches, 1122 Pinckney Rd./S. Michigan Ave, Howell
There's also a wonderful little shop in Pinckney, if we have time:
Jennifer's Quilt Shop, 149 N Howell St.
We need to pick a date.
Remember the 19th is the Shipshewanna day trip and Oct 16-23 is not good for Carol's store. What is a good date for everyone?

Yes please set up a new thread for October or we all will be confused. It is very easy to confuse me right now. (and always)lol
It is a lot of fun getting to know each other. Everyone invited and come when you can. If you can't there will always be another time.
I am looking into a MI retreat for us also. Will give more info as I get it. A couple of weeks I would think before I can put things to a vote.
Have a great day everyone.

I just started a new thread for the next gathering. Let me know if I forgot anything. Hope I did it right and posted it in the right spot.

Even though I started a new thread for the next Michigan gathering, thought I'd use this one to remind everyone of the Shipshewana date. October 19th is just Tuesday of next week. Anyone planning on going to Shipshewana? I want to go. LMK if you're interested so we can plan on maybe doing a car pool. I don't want to drive down alone. Please reply on the other thread if you can: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-65212-1.htm#1598667
Just trying to keep it all together in one spot.
