Hi everyone ,just letting you know I have paid for resverstaion for the hotel ,and they will collect the rest of the money when I get there Friday. I have made room assingments for thoseof us not coming with spouses. Nancy I also gave them your request and there was no problem with it.when you check in they will let you know your room number. Here are the room assignments for us singles LOL
room 1. Deb and Gretchen
room 2 Diana and Bonita
room 3 Elaine and Mary
room 4 Nancy B and Barbara ( we smoke so I put us in room so noone has to smell our smoke ,we are also up late and should not disturb anyone ..LOL
Thanks for the info Barbara, counting the days now. I have a question about the sewing machine I'll be using, what kind of thread do I need to bring for it. If's not picky about what kind I'll just bring what I normally use. But just don't want to screw up the machine. My little Brother is not picky. I just wish she had a bigger throat. LOL
Bonita you will be using my huskquvarna Topaz , I have alwys used Arufil 50wt thread in it and i think that ls what on it now Its a nice machne but it doesn't not have a auto thread cutter on it It has a beauitful stitch on it and its nice a guiet .It's a nice machine. And not hard to work .. Barbara.
Thanks again Barbara, I'm going to JoAnns today and will pick some up. I have an old huskquvarna Iris. I love it but it's hard to find the little cards for it I bought it for the embroidery.
Bonita, My Topaz,isan embroidery Machine as well but it also sews , I have got to take the time to figure out how to use the embroidery part but I just never seem to find the time to work with it . It realy is great to sew on. I just miss some of the extras.Barbara
Beth, I am sending your family hugs. Take care.

MNnancy: Aarrrgh! The weather forecasters are talking about several HUGE winter storms moving into the midwest starting this weekend. We're heading out Sunday with a couple of overnight visits planned on our way to New Orleans before we head to Branson the following week. I hope we don't get lost in the snow!

Nancy, be very careful! I can't wait to see you at Branson.
Everyone coming by car, be safe. The weather is why I am flying in. I could get stranded in Chicago, but at least I won't be in a cold car. And I have spent many nights in airports when we used to fly to Mesa, AZ during Februarys in the past.
Gretchen, I can't wait to meet you, roomie :-)
I am getting sooooooo excited to meet everyone. I love our quilt retreats through QCA. Such terrific people! Judy, I can't wait to show you a quilt I made I am proud of. And see more of your beautiful projects.
Nine days to go!!!!!!!
Speaking of showing quilts... Barbara, would you care to bring the comfort quilt made after your mother's passing to show to the group?
On the banks of the Mississippi River in north central Minnesota (Brainerd lakes area)
Nancy sure I can bring it , I had thought about it anyway . Barbara
Bonita, I don't think you will find Aurifil thread at JoAnn. They don't carry it. You will only find it at some quilt shops. I am looking forward to meeting you. And everyone. I'm getting so excited, but I am not ready yet. I have to sort out what I need to bring. Ott lights, quilt hoop, projects, sewing machine, tools, rulers, mat, What am I forgetting? Oh, yeah, clothes!
Bonita, I can bring an extra spool of Auriful for you. Would a neutral beige be okay?
