Houston International Quilt Festival

Ricky Tims is definitely an entertainer. I took a 2 day class with him that
was a hoot (of course I learnt lots but then didn't get a chance to create
with it. I need to do some creating - some real challenge myself. I will
put it on my calendar for say 2012!)

Enjoy Michelle. I would go see him again. His lectures are very
entertaining and he usually plays the piano while he does it.

I think we're arriving Saturday morning and will be leaving after they
close the doors on Sunday. We usually stay 3 or 4 days, but, this year
will have to cut it short. We're going to the Ricky Tims show on the 1st
at 5:30. I heard he does a good show.

I'll be there; my fifth or sixth year. Wouldn't miss it! But then it's
only a 2-3 hour drive from New Braunfels.

I am sending out this notice again because I have not seen a reply for
you. The show is getting really close and I still need a lot of help!
Please let your friends, guild, quilt bee, church group and any one
else that might be interested in working the show know about “working
the show.” I am happy to say that you will get a raise this year! You

the website now and choose your shifts.

Dates for the show:

Well, I have to wait for my turn. Right now Mom comes first and then the
grand kids. Daughter getting married is next. With an extended family, my
four weeks vacation (and disposable income) gets eaten up real quick (I get
another week next year - YAY!). I will be patient; I want to do it right
without feeling guilty about using the time or dollars that it will take.
I'm thinking I will be in good shape in 18-24 months. Retirement is not far
off (providing I still have a viable 401(k) left!). I love the idea of
volunteering though and I will definitely looking into doing that.
