Pam, I am pretty traditional myself. We were just at the Glendale Ca. quilt show last week. They had a beautiful traditional pieced and applique, it won best in show. This was a very large show too. I think there is always a place for traditional.
Pam if you are in Pittsburg, CA, not sure. The Amador Quilters have their show at the Alameda County fair grounds, the 25th and 26th of April. Parking is free if you attend the show. You should go, I think you would love it. Great show and great vendors.
