This is one of the larger quilt shows. Most all of them have classes, lots of quilts on display to drool and ooh-and-ah over, and many many vendors to buy from. The Intl. Quilt Shows are very big shows (vs. a local show run by a guild or a regional show) and usually display hundreds of quilts, and have anywhere from 200-1000+ vendors from all over. It can be overwhelming the first time you go, so pace yourself, LOL. But it is highly worth going to a show - not just for the phenomenal shopping but it can really get your creative juices flowing when you see all of the quilts on display and take classes if you have the time.
