There are some really good quilt shows here in Ga. Some things I've learned to do:
1. take a look at what is in your stash, what you might need or want to add.
2. keep your eyes open, you might find something new to try.
3. pay attention....I almost passed that nice looking lady at the counter in a vendor booth. OMG it was Eleanor Burns!!!! She is so nice and had the most gorgeous man helping her in her booth.
4. Buy at least one fat quarter. I didn't buy any fabric at the Knoxville/AQS show and now I don't have any fabric memory of the trip.
5. Water, snack bars, and totes.
6. For me, money spent on food and drink is money not spendable on fabric and notions.
