Welcome from the Chicago area. I am a former Iowan (I still consider myself an Iowan). I now live in the Chicago area, but love to go back to Iowa for some of the most fun quilt shops. I have family in the Kalona/Iowa City area so when going back we create our own Shop Hops finding any Quilt Shop on the way. I plan to go again in October for my third time to the Des Moines AGS Quilt Show. It is a great show, now that the Chicago International Show will no longer be here. Will I see any of you in Des Moines??
