Sorry I lost my cat of 17 yrs this morning and having a rough day.

Will be there, making pumpkin doodle cookies....as you know I love pumpkin.

Oh Kelli, I'm sorry to hear about your dear cat. That is so hard losing a member of the family that has been a good pet for so long. You will need lots of hugs from us Thursday.

I have my things ready and am so looking forward to seeing everyone!

nothing worse than losing a family pet -
so sorry Kelli.
See you Thursday.
Jennifer

thanks ladies, we was a sweet cat, but we knew yesterday she wasn't long in this world, but it doesn't make it any easier, finding her first thing this morning.

Look forward to Thursday...beware I have wedding pixs!

Britgal, just let me know how many chairs you want me to bring and any other last minute things you'd like me to pick up!

Aw, sorry to hear this. Pets are such an integral part of most of our lives.

thanks pat. think we'll be ok. Since I'm not exactly sure how many to expect, think we'll just sit wherever! I counted 14 places to sit in LR and I have 4 folding chairs too. the overflow can sit on the floor!! I'm cooking the lasagna tomorrow and then you all are bringing the rest - easy peasey for me! It's always fun and it will be VERY CASUAL - looking forward to seeing you all on Thursday 11:30 ish.

thanks Elaine!

After I finish babysitting for a friend's two little guys, I'm going to start gathering stuff for Thursday, since it's only a day and a half away!!!!!! .

pat

hey Jen, so you still have the suspender & bowtie onesie available...if so I want one, can you hold one for me and I will buy it from you on Thursday??

My grandson (to be) will look so cute in that!

thanks!

Britgal...I PM you. Need your address for Thursday...pm me please...

I have your address Jen and have shared it with Grace.
Tomorrow is the day!

I sent it to Gracie too, it's a bit confusing when you get close to the house, The street "Queens park dr" that Mapquest gives you isn't visible from the road where the gate is.
Just pull up to the gate and it'll open up.
614-793-8480
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!!
Jen

See you tomorrow!!!

Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day - 80 degrees -
Can't wait to see you all - 11:30 ISH tomorrow!

Just talked to MK to remind her what time I'll pick her up so we can connect with Gracie & fishingwidow... very excited about it being tomorrow! I have my pile of things I'm bringing all ready!

Rocky Road cheesecakes made, bread baked, just gathering white elephant!

Drive safely everyone and I'll see you there!!!

My car is gassed up and bag packed and sitting in front seat, I am ready to leave in the morning and meet up with pals in Cincinnati!
I am bringing something sweet and sorry to say but it is store bought. I just wasn't clever enough this time to come up with what to make and bring.
Can't wait to see everyone. I have been bragging about this to all my co-workers and buddies.
See you tomorrow.
Rondi

TODAY'S THE DAY!
Drive carefully!!

Jen

Up and at 'em!!!! Ready to have a fun day! Turning cell phone to vibrate and even then, most calls will not be answered! Don't want anything interrupting our visit!!!

Drive carefully everyone and, as I say to my family- "watch out for the idiots on the road and don't be one!"

I am getting up and going to buy tickets to take DGD to see Phineas and Ferb on Sunday. Then to hit the shower and load my car. My elephant is saying "when are we leaving? I want to see the nice people and go home with my new mom."

It was great to see everyone today.
Jen, Thanks for you kind hospitality.

Oh Jen, thank you so much for hosting a great lunch. I had such a wonderful time. The drive was so much fun, and the show n tell what a show....

I did forget my elephant. Oh I do that all the time. We can get together later, and you can mail it to me, or I'll get it next year...!!! But thx's again for a very nice time.

Gracie: just PM your address and I'll pop in the mail to you. no problem - unless your nearby.
Jen

I just got in the door. When I got back to Lexington I stopped at my daughters and we went looking for a dress for her graduation next week. Then when I got to Winchester a friend/coworker was just getting off work so I met up with her for a late supper and told her all about my day!

I had the best time! Thank you everyone, I hope you know you all are a dear gift to me. I treasure the times we spend together. I don't belong to a guild so this board and these visits are the closest attachment I have to others regarding quilting.

Can't wait to meet again.

Rondi

Hi all,

I had a really great day!! Thanks Gen for being a great hostess. Everthing was wonderful including the weather. It was good to see all the great show and tell and seeing everyone again.

Mary

I agree with everything said!! We have been a family, adding new sisters all the time. I get such inspiration from you all talented ladies.

My hubby said I smiled the rest of the day!

I'm registered!!!!!!! Yay!! I had a wonderful, wonderful time yesterday, thank you soooo much for hosting all of us ladies and thank you for welcoming me into your group, I feel like I am home.

XOXO, MK

So happy you found your way here my friend! You will enjoy this MB.

I have to tell all you that were at the get-together yesterday that I was wrong about where to find the Strip Twist pattern. It is a Bonnie Hunter pattern at Quiltville. If you Google "Strip Twist Quilt Pattern" (it's down a bit on the list) and click on it the pattern will come up.

Welcome MK, nice to see you again! I had so much fun yesterday, but crashed when I got home. Slept from 8:00 right through to 9:00 this morning. Must have needed it. Didn't know laughing and talking took so much out of you!

Welcome aboard, MK!!!!! So glad to see you here too!!!

Isn't britgal the best hostess?!!!! I always enjoy myself so much and treasure the camaraderie and friendships that we've formed!!!

Thanks so much to all the attendees for making it a great day and especially to Jennifer for being such a gracious hostess!!

pat

welcome to the boards MK!!!

We are so glad you joined us yesterday and now the boards!

I am Kelli, by the way!
