I LOVE going to quilt shows. I set a budget for what I am allowed to spend and try like heck to stick to it but some of the bigger shows, like MQX have such great show only deals it is difficult to not buy. And I love seeing the quilts. they give me so much inspiration and loads of ideas that I want to try myself in LAing. Of course a lot of it is beyond my current ability but I won't ever get there if I don't at least try! I really want to go to MQX in Rhode Island next month but none of the classes really motivated me so I may just go as a spectator and see what gadgets I can't live without and what kind deals Superior and Filtec have on thread.
