As soon as the bus arrived, Margie from 'Threading My Needles' called. (I had given her my cell phone number hoping we could meet) I first met Margie on the HGTV quilting forum. She joined in a few of my swaps and we've chatted thru email. It was wonderful to meet in 'real life'. Margie's DD took our photo, so hopefully it turned out ok and I can get a copy from her. If not~ I have a great memory! Well, maybe not great, or maybe not for all things (rolling my eyes here LOL), but I don't forget friends! ;-)) Thanks Margie! :-)
Next, I knew Cindy, from 'Sew Cindy' was there. We'd chatted by email too. We played phone tag for a bit, but finally met and had lunch together with my friend Karen from 'Briarside Lane' and her DD. We just chatted away like old friends! It was wonderful! And my sweet Charming Sister Cindy, had brought along a treat for me! She decorated the cute gift bag using her new GO! cutter, and look at all she put into it!~ A wonderful tea towel that she made, a kit~ (I love apples! Did she know that?), a FQ that I plan to add to my DJ quilt blocks, and a pen. Ok, I kinda swiped the pen :-o She said it was from her favorite quilt shop, and I needed to remember the name so I could look it up in my magazine. (no I didn't really swipe it, she gave it to me ;-) really! LOL) It was a featured shop in the Quilt Shops magazine in 2009~ The Old World Quilt Shoppe. Pretty cool, huh? :-)) Thank you Cindy!! :-)
That's all for tonight. I am still getting back into the swing of things here. Tomorrow I will post my Charming Girls Quilt Club goals for the next two months~ they might surprise you! ;-) Until then~
Happy stitchin'!

So glad you made it home safe. Was so nice to finally meet you, even tho it was for a very short time. I've sent you the picture, just don't look at me--I don't take good pictures!!! Maybe by the time the quilt show comes again next year I'll be able to say "Let's go!" but don't ask me right now. Hugs!!!
