quick intro

Here's another welcome from another Down Under Aussie - albeit a late one! Glad to see you here.

Hello Anne. Welcome to our expanding group. It is always fun to get new people/ideas/pictures/chocolate/squishies. Hehehehehehehe

I'm a bit south, not quite in Tacoma. Donna's in Bellevue, and we got together for a quilt show last fall. Maybe we should plan a Northwest meetup, sometime in the summer. What do y'all think? My place is big enough if the weather is nice, or we could do Coulon Park, or ? ? ? ? ?

Great idea, TerriLee. I had a meet and greet several years ago at my house. That's how I met Deni in Burnaby and Sandi in New Westminster. There are really a lot of us up here but we're pretty spread out. Summer sounds good to me and a central location sounds good, too. Donna

We'll be in a hotel in Seattle in July for 1 night prior to a cruise-I think it's July 13th. How about a meet-up at the hotel? Gen

That would be REALLY fun! I'd love to me my sister rctqers from the Northwest. I work during the week, 8 to 5ish - but would definitely move heaven and earth to meet wherever and whenever.... no kids or dh's to deal with here :->

Welcome, Anne! Hope you can post a picture of that quilt cause it sure sounds cute!

A hotel would work! I'll see if I can't put together a list of us who are in the general area and send email (now that its working again). I work during the day, as does Patti, but my schedule is flexible.

I'm game if it's a weekend...just got a full-time job, so there will be no gallivanting during the week. But, I could maybe swing something on a weekend if you're willing to include someone from "the Island."

Ah, there you are, Kim. I'm harvesting everyone's email addys as they post, so that I can put together a dist. list. I've been wanting to meet you for forever, as my DH is a pastor and loves your designs.

I've saved your email addy into my contacts, and am working with Patti on a distribution list. Whoo-hoo!! This is fun.

Oh, oh, oh!! I want to do Expo with someone!! Can I bring my sis, who quilts and sews but doesn't yak with us?

Of course you can do Expo with us. It's seldom very organized except the year Gen came out and stayed with us. We had a party/meet-up at Expo and then "visited" an RCTQer's new house and took pictures (and she wasn't there). It's too bad Kathy (is that right?) doesn't post anymore. Oh the things we can get up to when unsupervised. Donna in Bellevue

Thanks for the kind words, TerriLee. I hope we can make this work!

Hi Cathy!! Long time no see. I'll put your email in the DL too!! Can someone send me Deni's? I haven't seen her post (or did my newsserver eat it?)

Awesome! Thanks. I'll contact you off-list to discuss day/time/etc.
