You can have a great time without spending much or you can go hog wild. I have only been once, but I enjoyed taking on a category of quilts and really seeing them all. I still love the pictures I've taken, many closeups. The best free class for me was the square in a square class, but there lots of others; you just sign up the day of the class. Also, I hope you will come by Quilts Beyond Borders, I'll have pic of our recent trip to Ethiopi, aswell, the prior trip and our recent delivery to Haiti.
