My neighbor taught me to quilt about 10 years ago. That lesson included the Lancaster Quilt show in Lancaster, PA. I had the best day!! There were so many people, but it didn't matter. When you were waiting in line at a booth to pay, women would ask what you were buying and what you were going to do with it!! I had some of the best conversations in line! I would suggest buying things you don't normally see in your quilt shop or Joanns. I always go to the "thimble guy", the stencil shop, thread shop, and the book and pattern booth. I remember one woman commented to me when I was contemplating a purchase...Get it now, you may never see it again and you will regret it!! That theory is not always good for the pocketbook, but it has worked well for me. Then when you get home it is so fun to go through all of your fun purchases!
I have 3 daughters!! Love those Girls!! Have the best day with your girls! Let us know how it goes and post pictures of your purchases!!
