I am going to Shipshewana, too.

I made my reservation to see Ricky Tims lecture about his machine quilting tips. I cannot wait. I love the quilt show and shop hop. Shipshewana here I come.

I live in central Indiana. I have never been to that quilt show before. Is it nice? I just went to the Bloomington Quilt show yesterday. A little disappointed. Not as many quilts or vendors as usual. I am looking forward to the Cincinnati show.

Ah, not so many but some really innovative techniques and the prize winners were spectacular.

Most of the vendors were the same ones that always go but I did notice a few of them missing as well. Would love to go to the Shipshewana show but it's difficult to get several days off in a row. Happened to have Thursday off so took a drive to Bloomington.

Can you give me any info about the Cincy show you mentioned? DD and SIL live just north of Cincy now...it might be a fun thing for us to do when we go visit them.

Check out www.shipshewanaquiltfest.com DD & I went for 1 day last year. We left early am, 2 hr. drive, saw all the quilts, shopped the vendors, saw the quilts at the auto museum, hit a couple of the shops on our way out of town. It was a tiring, but enjoyable day. We're spending the night this year; we'll see Ricky Tims in concert Wed. pm, attend his lecture Thur. am, then hit the show, vendors, etc. I can't wait.

Make sure you go to Lolly's while you are there and be sure to go downstairs while you are there for not only the sale fabric but also the cuddle fabric room!
