    I've been to several when they were in the Chicago area. I brought snacks (cheese sticks, yogurt, water) to hold me. I didn't want to wait in line and pay the money for a food there. Afterwards hubby and I went to a nice restaurant for dinner. Definitely wear comfy shoes. I wore clothes that had pockets in them so I didn't need to bring a purse. Just carried my card, drivers license and cash! I viewed the quilts first and then the vendors.

    Please post tonight what you saw -

    Let us know if there's something that we MUST see.

    Tell us about anything you think would make our visit better.

    I'll be waiting to hear your suggestions!

    ENJOY YOURSELF
