Saw lots of long-arm supplies - notions/rulers/threads.
Lots of rulers that, if you can do the math, you don't need, but were selling like hotcakes.
Same for a lot of the "collections" by name designers - not my cup of tea but flying off the shelves.

Some of my favorite vendors weren't there but the others that were had great stuff, and since it's specialized, there isn't the crazy rush like at booths selling Kaffe and batiks.
Getting in at 5 on Wednesday also made it a more pleasant experience.

I scored some awesome fabrics - Japanese dobby, indigos, colored Shweshews (pink, orange, purple).
Fabulous hand-dyed African fabrics.
Gorgeous fabric from a new (to me) designer, Marcia Derse.http://www.marciaderse.com/
Cashmere for a jacket I want to make - I wanted to curl up in it.
Bought some Kai scissors because....I don't why.
Also some nesting (10) hexagon and octagon lucite rulers.

All shipped back home because I was too lazy to take it on the plane.
All these years of going and I never rented a box.
Always just kept going back to the car to dump stuff.
Next time it's the first thing I do.

I must of missed them but I didn't see any Oakshotts which I found surprising, but I didn't see Pinwheels either.
Maybe they couldn't get out because of the storm.
Or I just didn't see them.
