Ii totally missed reading the posts for that day. Soooo glad I stumbled onto your message tonight. I was going to PM you in a day or so to find out if it was still on since we had talked about it a few weeks ago.
At any rate, I'll be there :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
I didn' see that Anna425 or Kas had responded, so I'll PM them, just in case they missed the post ;)

I'm in Washington but would be very interested in a Beach Retreat in Oregon. Do you allow neighbors to come to your Oregon Beach Retreats.
Please pm with any information.

Keep your eyes out for our next one in Oregon. We just had a get-together a few weeks ago. We've done this about every other month for over a year (meeting in members homes), and some of us were even able to take a beach retreat back in Oct. There's talk about the possibility of another beach retreat this spring. Keep watch . . . . We'd love to have you join us![/quote]

I would love to be part of your group....Just not arriving in WA til the 3rd of May!
I wish I had seen the dates for this meet & greet before I purchased airline tickets! :(

I'll be there. Just about 20 miles from me. We go to the quilt shop a couple of times a year. We love to go to country village and have breakfast at Dave and Alexanders tea shop.
Look for you all.

I will try and be there. I have wanted to meet other quilter's from this area, but am very shy. I have a sister lives in Bellevue and I'll see if she will go with me. I live in the Spanaway/Mt Hwy area and don't drive past her place. All of the people on this sight are sssooo great.

My LQS owner has graciously agreed to let us meet at her store, Keepsake Cottage Fabric. This is located in the Country Village in Bothell Washington. This is right off of I-405. (Suggest to use Map Quest for directions). The complex, Country Village, has many wonderful shops including antiques for shopping and a coffee shop and restaurant.
This is not very structured, but the “plan” is to meet at the quilt store, meet, greet and shop. There is no firm time frame but after meeting, and shopping of course. There is a great coffee shop in the complex we can go to sit and chat or the restaurant, or go off on your own to explore.
Date: April 23rd 2011 - Saturday
Time: 11:00 AM until ???????
Place: Keepsake Cottage Fabrics - Country Village
818 238th St
Bothell, WA 98021
Store phone #: 425-486-3483
Please where a name tag with “Quilting Board”, your screen name and your first name. Nothing fancy. Mine will probably a 3 x 5 index card pinned to my shirt.
I would like to get an approximate head count. If this is something you might be interested in, please respond to the topic or pm me. Any questions, pm me also.
Please remember this is not a formal event just a chance to meet others from this wonderful board. If folks like this, we can plan something later in the year.
