This is it!

This is what we've been waiting for!

Jane_kiwi, quiltslots, MountainLaurel and I will be leaving for Pennsylvania tomorrow to get things rolling for retreat this weekend :) The rest of the committee will be coming in Wednesday and Thursday.

I'm pretty sure we have everything ready for you to have a good time this weekend - all we need is you! Everyone have safe travels. My cell phone number is  513-267-9574 -- CALL ME if you need to and I will do what I can to help you :)

I think there's a phone in the airport to call directly to have the shuttle come get you.  The hotel's number is 717-939-7841 - call them to have them send the shuttle to you after you get your luggage - if you have checked any.  Ask for the shuttle and you will be told where to go to wait and approximately how long.

If you are driving be sure to check traffic reports. Call if you need help with alternate routes.

Have a great time - Remember, getting there should be half the fun!

One Month 'til COF!!!

I don't know about you but I'm really getting excited about the trip! It'll be so much FUN -- friends, food, sewing, shopping, learning, prizes, games, laughter, hugs -- REAL HUGS not those computer <<<hugs>>>!

I hope you've started getting your fq's together for bingo. And how is that 1/4yd Challenge Project coming along? I'm working on the quilting of mine - but I started it yesterday morning by marking it, then I had some things to do and when I got back to it last evening  ALL MY MARKING had disappeared!!! I didn't realize I had used an air erase marker! I was NOT happy. So now I get to go back and mark it again before I can finish it. argh.

Phew!

That crisis has been averted! Only one pair of people need a room on Saturday and I am sure they will have one :) Now my biggest concern is getting everything to Harrisburg!

I've been receiving the row robins and they are looking REALLY good! It'll be great to see them all hanging side by side :)

The committee is working on the final details of the retreat and it's coming together nicely. I think we will all have a great time!

Well, only 38 Days left untl we're all together in Harrisburg!

I don't know about you but I'm gettting excited - and nervous! I have never hosted a party this big before and I really want to do a good job. So far the only major glitch is the lack of rooms on Saturday night...I guess if that is the worst thing that happens, I'll consider the retreat a success!

Hey there everyone!
Do you realize it is only 2 months 'til retreat!?! Where has the time gone? I hope you are getting ready. Do you have your itinery? Tickets? Travel buddies? Spending money? Room mate? Fq's for bingo? Your 1/4yd project? Remember to bring it in a plain brown bag with NO name on it.

Classes have been announced. Please thank Jackie/quiltslots for all her hard work in getting this set up for us. It was quite the task :)

I'll be away until May 6th - I am going to see my daughter and her husband in Germany then we are all going to Norway to see the girl who was our exchange student and her family and then going back to Germany for Alannah's college graduation.

When I get back we'll be entering the home stretch. I really hope everyone has a good time. We've worked really hard to put this party together. It isn't as easy as I thought it would be...jk - I never thought it would be easy!

There is a new Sunday Sur-prize - let's hear your answer!

Stay tuned ~
