Hi Jan,
I went to the show last year and it was REALLY nice. The quilts are from all over the world and lots of beautiful quilts from the local quilt guilds. If you have time, plan on walking across Okeechobee Road to what is called City Place. It is an outdoor mall with lots of shops, food, outdoor entertainment, etc. If you are staying overnight you will be inpressed with how pretty downtown WPB and City Place can be at night. Here is a link to the quilt show web site. Have lots of fun and yes they did have lots of vendors with the long arms there. Rhonda (Labelle)
