TQS/AAQI Challenge 2012

[Rita C.]

And MaryJo, wherever Nancy is I will be too - well the 2D version of me anyway. :mrgreen: Hope you have a great time. Maybe someday my 3D form will make it to Houston too.

[Nancy R.]

Yes, Flat Rita has kindly agreed to accompany me to Houston this year! Although she might have an ulterior motive as I have the feeling that she might be looking for someone else to provide her with additional adventures for the coming year...

I will be there and plan to attend the dinner. Also will visit the AAQI Booth. I want to meet Robin, Mary Jo and Nancy and many, many more. Clara too. I must meet Clara.

[Lois B.]

I will be at the dinner and I must meet Lois. I will also check out the AAQI booth, but no idea when. Have to do that every year. They are crazy fun there.

By the way. I usually wear tie dye shirts. So, grab me if you see me at the Houston show. Clara

[Maryjo K.]

I feel out of touch, when is the dinner? Where did you hear about it? I am now traveling but will check in for more info in a couple of days. In Chicago for christening of 4th grandchild! I am so blessed to get to have all of family together.

[Maryjo K.]

I'm a little slow with making quilts lately, so I treated myself to one at the auction. Clara

[Maryjo K.]

What an adorable treat for you, Clara! Animals are such beautiful subjects for quilters! Glad you bought this one...it's a little treasure.

[Lotti D.]

[Lotti D.]

Wow! That's a beautiful quilt Clara. Enjoy

[Lotti D.]

He/she's a darling.

[Nancy R.]

On this page, you can sign up for a definite time slot AND/OR to be a member of the Text Brigade. The Text Brigade is kinda fun. You can give us a broader range of time you might (or might not be) available and if Ami looks around and sees people climbing all over wanting to purchase quilts, she texts me and says HELP! I have a list of all the brigadiers and I look up those that might be available and text them to go save Ami and crew as soon as they can. If you are strolling through the quilts and can get back to that later, you text me back with an ETA. If you are in the middle of a class or just bought a queen size batt and need to go back to your hotel, you text me "sorry".

If you sign up for a time slot (and that makes life way easier for Ami), you have a definite commitment and can plan it into your day. But the Text Brigade is an option you might want to think about too - there are always times when the booth gets over-run with excited quilt buyers and we don't want any of them to leave because they couldn't see the quilts they wanted to see.

We have sent over 2,000 quilts to Houston this year and have twice the booth space we had last year. We will need your help more than ever!
