Get-together at Stitches Midwest! NOW WITH PICTURES!

KHers and those related to KHers are all invited. :thumbsup: Just make sure we get a head count, and let me know what kind of ā€œluckā€ you are bringing in your ā€œpotā€ so I can moderate for any duplicate dishes! :lol:

:cheering: :cheering: I hope I can convince my whole fambly to come.

And actually, I’m laughing, because as much fun as we all have together, it might be just a little scary to see how our DH’s get along. :roflhard: My DH can usually make friends w/ just about anyone, though, so I’m not terribly concerned.

Hmmm … now I’m thinking we might need to get a babysitter, 'cause it would be so much more fun w/out kids interrupting me. :thinking:

My DH seems to be more shy in company than I’ve expected! :smiley: But I’ll ask him anyway and let you know if we’ll be one person or two!

Kelly, I’m thinking a couple of side-dish casseroles and a dessert or two… would that work?

OMG, Karen! How about ONE of each??? Or just one OR the other? Im not expecting you to make ALL the food! :rofling:

Jul… you KNOW I love any opportunity to see your kidlins… but, if you’d rather not, that’s fine, too. I dont know if you are gonna want them influenced by a bunch of DRUNK KNITTERS! :shock:

I want my DH to come now :verysad:

DH says yes! (Also, Kelly, I’m used to cooking for Sacred Harp potlucks, so often I’m making three casseroles and two or three desserts! I guess I was on potluck autopilot… so, how about one casserole and one dessert…?)

Anyway, count us as two! :cheering:

ETA: I’m thinking the never-miss corn pudding I make for most Sacred Harp singings I cook for (the casserole) and sticky buns (the dessert, which is freezer yeast rolls slathered in nuts, dates, butter, caramel pudding mix and I think brown sugar, left to rise and then baked… :drooling: )… howzat sound?

OMG that sounds SOOOOOOOOO yummy!!!11

YAYYYYYY JERRY! :heart:

Boo hoo! I’m NEVER gonna get to meet you guys. :verysad:

And y’all are havin’ food and EVERYTHING! :frog:

Reasons I can’t come:

  1. I can’t afford to travel that far
  2. I have no money for food, lodging or YARN!
  3. The church can’t have a service without their ORGANIST!

I tell ya. It’s just a drag.

Oh well, maybe next year. :crying:

OK I have been avoiding this post until I got the dates for Leadership Conference at Church. And unfortunately the conference falls on the same weekend with Stitches. But I can make Sunday? Is anyone going to market Sunday or are will you all be Stitches out by then?

I’m not going to be able to come to Stitches… :frowning:

I was somewhat hesitant already, because I wasn’t sure where I would stay or how I would find my way around by myself. Then, my sister asked me to go away for the weekend with her. We did this last year too- a ā€œgirlfriend’s getawayā€, where we stay at a hotel, go to a spa the next day and get massages and manicures, and generally have a blast. My sister has MS, and hasn’t been doing so great lately- I’m not sure how many more years we will be able to just pick up and go away like this, so I want to do it while I can. I can’t wait to see all the pictures and hear about the great time that you all have!!! :heart:

Oh, Margie. :frowning: Of course we all understand why you can’t come, but we’ll definitely miss meeting you!!! I hope we can somehow have another gathering somewhere where lots of people can attend.

:verysad:

I think I might be able to come Saturday after all. My pastor/boss said Satruday at Conference is only a half day and since it is normally a day off, I don’t have to come if I don’t want to! :cheering: So I am going to be checking with my family and see if Saturday will be ok!

Yippee! :cheering:

:cheering: :cheering: Yay for VickiIL

:frowning: for Margie, but it’s for a good reason, I say!!

I got a thingie in the mail for $2 off entrance fee ($6.00 each with discount). It’s good for our whole group…

I can’t wait! :happydance: :cheering:

oh cool.

my dh can’t come to the bbq :frowning:

What??!? No TOPLESS entertainment? :shock:

Whoa, wait a sec … no one said anything about a lack of toplessness… I just said DH wasn’t coming… :eyebrow:
