I went to a Quilt and Fiber Art Extravaganza last weekend, Friday through Sunday. They had at least 20 classes you could sign up for as well as about 60 vendors. There were over 600 quilts displayed. My classes ran from 10 am - 9 pm. Mary Ann Fons was the guest speaker Saturday morning. I shared a room with a friend I met through our LQS, although she lives over an hour away from me. It was a wonderful weekend and we all learned a lot! They will have the second annual one next year in Hickory, NC again. Check out the link to this years event: www.quiltandfiberart.com
