I must confess I look at the quilts but it is a fast walk through. I am most interested in the vendors. If you think about it they also have many quilts on display as samples. They often have kits that allow you to make the quilt displayed. As a handquilter and with fairly traditional tastes I really don't consider many of the current quilts in shows as really being a quilt. Some of them are so heavily machine quilted and embelished they wouldn't even bend. I am most interested in the vendors as they are often ones I have done mail order with. It is so nice to be able to see their wares up close and personal. I didn't go to the Lancaster show this year but I only would have attended the "free" vendors mall at the former location. Most of the quilts being displayed at the official show will be in other shows I will be attending later in the season.
