I'm so excited to go!! I haven't ever went to it either but am going the first day. My sister is going along--even though she doesn't sew or quilt. (What a good heart she has!). I am dreaming about buying a long arm and will be researching all the long arm quilt booths. (Maybe I'll make my sister try one and brainwash her into becoming a quilter)!! It is 5 1/2 hours away from here but that at least is still within a reasonable driving distance and it will be a nice getaway for my sister and I. We used to go to a huge Craft Sale every fall but we don't do that anymore because one can only hang so much stuff on your walls in your house--and besides--I have now become a quiltoholic instead of a craftaholic!!!!

I am going to the quilt show down there.. with my 3 sisters. Can't walk for a long period of time.. hope there are many chairs for me to sit on and rest a few! We have gone there for a few years... I always stayed in the motel room. This time, the sisters insist I go.. so hopefully I can go and not get too tired! Thanks.. Linda in Sioux City.

The APQS quilt show in Des Moines is Sept 28 thru Oct 1.
You can check the info at the APQS website. Or maybe
you were thinking of a different show...
I think I am going to go on Thurs Sept 29 but the Perry
Guild (at least as a group are going on Sept 28. )
