ooooohhhhh paducah is a must-go for quilters! you have to go if you have the chance. i've been twice and am going back this april. if you are just now thinking of going you will have a difficult time finding accommodations, but if you are driving and don't mind staying an hour away, you will be okay. we live in illinois, about 3 hours from paducah, so we travel two hours to stay somewhere overnight and go back and forth across the river to the show. i love the vendor booths. you can find some really neat things there. the quilts on display are fabulous, so take your camera! the town really goes all out for quilters. the rotary club also has had a quilt show in the past at the same time. we haven't gotten to it, but plan to do that this year. and visit eleanor burn's shop for sure. have a great time but be prepared to walk a lot!
