I was there 4 days and did not go to any classes and feel like I have been run over by a MAC truck. Paducah is great as the town is so lovely and I really enjoyed it, but there is no comparison to Houston. You owe it to go at least once. I volunteered in interviewing Texas quilters for a new book that has been published about saving out heritage of quilting. We interviewed dozens of Texas quilters along with their quilt that was picked to be in the book and it was so very interesting being a part of this process. The quilts are so unbelievable. It is almost hard to believe that someone actually made them. How does it compare to the AQS show in Paducah? I go to that one, but might think about flying to the market next year.

Actually there were 900+ vendors !! TOO MUCH to see !!
Yes, Every quilter does need to come at least ONCE in their lifetime ... It is truly Quilters Mecca !! I'm so lucky to have it in our "backyard" - only 25 mi to downtown for me from W Houston
