Quilt Show in Illinois (was DH is so well trained...)

Hi Kathy,

I was just asking DBF where he thought would be a could place to go. He
immediately said "Here". No, its not an imposition and he loves to
cook. He's already asking what we should serve. So what are you
allergic to? Hopefully by May I'll be able to show off my new sewing room.

Okay, the day is set. Thursday, May 6. We're meeting up at the
registration desk at the Crown Plaza (it's on the second floor) at 6
p.m., when the show closes. Yvonne Stuchell, Pat Spaeth, myself, and
hopefully you will have a fabulous time eating dinner somewhere! *grin*

Pat and I are from out of town, and Yvonne lives 40 miles from
Springfield, so we're hoping you can suggest somewhere to eat. I do
have a few food allergies, so hopefully someplace with a variety of
food. No hurry -- we don't need to decide until we're in the car
heading to the restaurant.

Can't wait!

Actually those probably would work for me. Let me know what you
and Yvonne decide.

Yvonne and I are looking at Thursday or Friday dinner. The ball is in her
court right now.

But if those don't work for you, I'll be glad to meet up. I'm there Mon -
Sat a.m. the week of May 3-8, and I'll have a vehicle.

I live in Springfield. Not sure if I'll make it to the show this
year,
but if a meetup is in the offing I might be able to rearrange my schedule.

So, Kathy, are you coming this way. I know I missed you in NoCal
while I was there, but Springfield is only a short 40 miles from my
door, and I've been looking for a reason to have to go (besides test
driving the machines and drooling). Email me privately if you want
to meet up or bring swap fabrics in person....

Okay, everyone, listen up! *grin*

The Machine Quilter's Showcase will be in Springfield, Illinois at
the Crown Plaza hotel the first week of May. This show is geared to
long and shortarmers, but anyone can attend, and the quilts are
*spectacular*. (Several of the teachers have won major national
awards, and will be showing their quilts.) The vendors are also
geared to long and shortarmers, but there will be a few fabric
vendors there, along with lots of thread and batting vendors. And if
you've ever wanted to try a longarm, shortarm, or a frame for your
home machine, this is the place to do it. EVERY major manufacturer
will be there in force.

Classes are May 3-8th, but many are full. You can download the class
schedule at http://www.imqa.org/PDF/CE%20Catalog%20MQS%2020041.pdf This is a big PDF, so it will take a few minutes if you're on dial
up, but the quilt on the cover is worth the download. Information on
which classes are full is at http://www.imqa.org/

The show is open to the public for sure on Saturday, May 8th. I also
think it's open to the public on May 6-7, but I could be wrong --
check with IMQA to be sure.





See ya there!

Alternatively (or alternate meal), Ryan's is a steak-and-buffet sort of
place with a lot of variety. It's a bit of a ways from the Crown Plaza (7
miles) but hard to get lost---same street, just go north until you hit it.
(2700-ish N Dirksen Parkway).
