I did, I did!!! I went today with my BF (aka "the enabler") and came home super inspired, tired feet and empty wallet (mine and his) and pretty additions to my stash. I saw, I bought, I had a great time! How long till next year???

We went, my daughter and I. First trip...did the preview on Wed and left this morning for the long trip home, 8 hours driving. But it was worth every minute, overload, brain is racing thinking of sew many quilts to get done

It was such a thrill to get to go for my very first time. A group of six of us went together.....what fun! Beautiful quilts every where and way too many vendors in one place!!!!! I wanted everything It will take me days to settle down and focus on one project at a time. Loved the whole experience

I didn't get to go, but the owners of the quilt shop where I teach go. That means in the next couple of weeks I'll be getting new patterns and material to do store samples. It's always fun to see what they bring back. I would love to go sometime.

I hope to attend next year. My brother lives outside Houston and I could go for a visit with a little side trip to the quilt show!
