Well, I'm a heretic. I go to quilt shows just for the vendors. I love to see what gadgets are new, what inventions have been presented, what fabrics I've missed locally and to try out the longarms. I look at the quilts, of course, but only to find something I haven't seen before or to find that quilt that stops me cold. And I file it in my heart under Deep Appreciation. I have no desire to enter my quilts in a show and no desire to stress over my creations...just not interested. But I really admire the effort the quilters have put into their wonderful entries...again under Deep Appreciation.
I find quilts I want to make right here on the Board or on Pinterest.
