I've never been to a large quilt show so am planning on going to Grand Rapids this year for 1-2 days if my husband can get a day off. Hope to camp at Newago state park. There are very few teachers that I would pay to take a class with: maybe David Taylor or Bonnie Hunter. My husband really likes looking at quilts. He always has suggestions and comments and have tried to talk him into learning sew and quilt.
