That one's a bit too far away for me too! I went to my first quilt show last summer, it was the biggest one in the UK. It was awe inspiring (also a bit intimidating as I was just starting out with quilting and seeing all those amazing quilts on show made me wonder what I was thinking!!) and fun. It was a great place to get set up with the kit I needed, as the vendors usually do 'show speacials' on their prices. There were also demo's by the majoy sewing machine brands...Janome, Pfaff, Brother were all there, and you could try out all their different machines. I came home weighed down with bags and fabric and with about 200 photos on my camera. You should definitely go to the one in Maine!
