am going to my third show this weekend, in NJ. I love to see the quilts. I don't even go through the vendor area cause it is all the same stuff over and over except for Quilting Threads. I love their assortment of pantos. I also like to look at any book sellers. I am a book taught quilter and love creativity in books. I can't afford to take classes with all these great people. Having a book will teach and inspire me for a long time.
Being with loved ones and friends is more important than any quilt show but it is a nice way to spend time together.
peace
