    Ok the date is almost here, anyone else planning on attending the big shop hop all in 1 location with lots of demonstrations and fun shopping day (27 quilt shops under 1 roof)

    afterwards you can come to my 4th Meet and Greet less than 1/4 mile south of the event to be able to chat with members from Quilting Board, eat dinner, visit, show and tell (be sure to bring projects to show for our show and tell)

    I have reserved the banquet room at the restaurant so we have plenty of room, Come on Quilters!

    I get to come on Friday. I wish I was getting to meet everyone on Saturday night, but the schedule just won't allow for it this time.

    I will be keeping my eyes peeled for all meet and greets planned.....

    Hello,

    That is great you can come on Friday

    I will be there both days, so lets plan on meeting each other

    I just sent you a private message.

    If anyone else is going on Friday to the shop hop let me know so we can also meet. Maybe we could all eat lunch together on Friday!

    Karen, Craftybear
