    The Gems of the Prairie quilt guild from Peoria, IL, is having a quilt show, Autumn Gems, on Sept. 24-25 in Pekin, IL. You'll find a link to the flyer at this site:

    I've not been to this show for a few years but have gone before and it was very nice. The flyer says there will be 500+ quilts, a bed turning, classes & demos and more!

    I googled directions to the Avanti Dome, doesn't look too hard to find. I'm sorry I don't know about restaurants, I live an hour away and don't know the area well. I'm hoping to go, but DD just called and she's not feeling well, wondering if its appendicitis. If she heads to the hospital, I'll be watching the grandkids tomorrow instead of going to the show!
