I went to that show also, and the quilts there were stunning ! I went to get inspired or thought I would be anyway. I just realized how far I have to go. It was great fun though, all by myself, with no one pushing to move on.
I did enjoy the venders and spent a lot of money. There was a vender there that had stuff like I have never seen. And she only sells online and at shows. Her stuff was all Latin inspired. So lots of bright colors. Not sure why I was so drawn to her stuff, but I was. She designs her own patterns and fabric. I found a pattern for a sugar skull quilt, kind of a Day of the Dead type theme. I'm making Halloween throws for my girls this year so this will be for my DIL.
I also went to the new quilt shop across the street from the show. She was having her "soft" opening. I will definitely be going back. She is specializing in all the new more modern fabrics, which I absolutely love. I had to buy from her too of course.
