Not too far away. I too am anxious to get together!

Woohoo! I'm looking forward to getting together. :)

Hannah

That is great Hannah -- Haven't heard from Pat yet, but hopefully she won't have a problem where she lives in Augusta. 10:30 it is. I will send you a Spark Mail with my cell phone number.

Ditto Eileen, I'm so looking forward to meeting you.

I'm on vacation that week and want to be at our family camps in Orland for a few days to be able to be with cousins, Aunt, Uncle, friends, etc. So I think I'll plan to be there in the middle of the week, drive to Augusta on Friday for visits with Spark Friends and the Quilt Show, and then continue home. What a blessing. 10:30 works great.

When I met with Sandy and all for the Ellsworth 5K last year, we shared cell phone numbers privately, and that worked well. So as the time for the quilt show gets closer I'm fine with sharing my cell phone #, off site.

Woohoo, see you and others soon.

Hannah -Friday the 29th, it is. Now we need to figure time. I can be there between 10:30 and 11:00 if that works for you. I know you have further to travel that I do. I would rather be in Augusta around mid-day and then be on my way back home by late afternoon. Does this work for you? Pat has suggested that everyone use cell phones to make connections and this probably will work. I do have a cell phone but seldom use it. Don't want to rely on it completely and do not answer it if I am driving. I keep it in my handbag and it is hard to answer quickly. I also do not text or even check voice mail, so not sure how much use it will be.

I am so looking forward to meeting you.

Sounds great, let's go on Friday. Woohoo!

HANNAH - I would prefer to go on Friday if at all possible. I would think that Friday would be less busy than Saturday, and the exhibits would all be new. Hopefully this will work out for Pat as well. I know that MISSHARTUNG was also thinking of going, but haven't seen any posts from her recently.
Eileen

Whew, the dates of the quilt show are fast approaching, LOL! I'm on vacation that week, so am thinking I'd prefer to go either Friday the 29th or Sat the 30th. I'm leaning more towards Friday. Barb, I know you're there all 3 days. Eileen and Pat do have a preference for which day(s)?

I'm looking forward to meeting you all.

Hannah

I will wait until others have said when they will be there so that I can co-ordinate with them.
Eileen

I will be at the quilt show all three days, I already have a hotel room and have signed up for 3 classes and the preview on Thursday, and the quilt talk and supper on Friday. I am sure we can meet up to all who want to come!

Hannah - I have attended this show or its forerunner many years ago when I think it was held in various places before moving to the Augusta Civic Center permanently. It was an interesting show when I last attended it, and I look forward to going again. I have quilted long before baskets and have dabbled since. I do have loads of material, so maybe I can spark some creative juices still in me for quilting.

Still waiting for day and time when the most of the Maine team will be there.
Eileen

Same with me Eileen. I've never attended this show, but have wanted to for quite awhile.

Hannah

I am interested in a Spark Team get together at this show if it is at a time that I can attend. I cannot be away from home during the summer for a long period of time because of my dog. However, I could spend a few hours at this show, and if necessary possibly a neighbor could take the dog out once while I'm there.

Will stay checked in here until I learn day and possible time.

The annual Maine Quilt Show, put on by the Pine Tree Quilters, will be held the last weekend in July at the Augusta ME Civic Center. On our daily thread there's discussion about some members attending and hopefully meeting up. If you're interested in attending and getting together please post here. It would be fun to have Spark Maine team members get together!
