This was my first time seeing the AQS Lancaster show. It was a nice show. We saw Alex Anderson, Lisa Bongean and Eleanor Burns so that was cool. I felt like all of the quilts were pretty much the same. Beautiful, yes! Very fine workmanship, no doubt but I did not feel like there as a good mix in terms of variety and genre. I am really looking forward to Hershey and Oaks. The shows I saw last year were jaw dropping.
The shopping was good (is it ever bad?). I bought a few bits and bobs. I did find a vendor with a huge selection of Kaffe Fassett which was great. I bought some lovely backgrounds. Also, there was so much wool applique! Quite a few vendors with wool. That was fun for me.
My two favorite parts of the show were seeing and talking with Lisa Bongean and of course the ride up and back. A real girls road trip. I can' t wait for the next one!
