Wish I still lived in the Chicago area. I went to that show several years ago and it was fabulous. I spent the day and could have stayed another day or two. Some of the quilts were so unbelievable. It both inspired me and made me want to go home and smash my machine knowing I could live to be one hundred and never accomplish what some of those quilters were able to do with fabric and thread. Enjoy. Take a camera and wear comfortable shoes . I am envious. Kashu
