Quilt shows are wonderful but I get so overwhelmed immediately, I can't even make it down the first row no joking, I can hardly breath, my stomach gets upset, my head starts hurting, so I hightail it to the food area grab some water and maybe something with chocolate on it and collect myself. I have learned to buy a ticket for two days, just look around the first day and jot down the booths that I love and then shop and spend the next day. Now I don't get so overwhelmed with all the wonderful things. To all of you who love this art and this board, have fun creating wheter you buy, barter, recycle, freecycle and remember too that the old quilts that we might think are ugly are worth a whole lot of money these days. Quilts are treasures no matter what they look like.
