If you have projects in mind, take yardage requirements and snippets of any fabrics you plan to use. If you are on a tight budget, try to keep your expenditure totals in mind as you go along; it's so easy to keep buying because, if there are vendors from afar, you may see great fabrics that are not available in your LQS and you'll want to buy them all. At least I do.

But mostly, have fun. Think of all of us who would love to be there with you! (And remember where you parked.)
