It's more than a 2 hour drive for me as well, but I talked Hubby into taking me. He actually enjoyed it! The quilts were spectacular, most of the vendors wonderful and interesting, loved the demonstrations, and spent WAY too much money. Some frustrations along the way - discovered AT the show that my ever-loving son had taken the memory card out of my camera, so had to use my cell phone, that he had ALSO taken the sim card out of, to take pics, but by that happening, he also got to experience the show and was really amazed at the quilts I chose to take pictures of. He even had favorites!
This was my first quilt show experience, so I didn't take any classes - wanted to get a feel for what the show was all about. But got to play on a Baby Loc and that was a lot of fun. Thank you to the lady that was demo-ing the machine that spent so much time with me showing me the features!
Overall, well worth the drive. Bonus factors in spending time with husband and impressing son!
