I live in Lancaster County and I am very interested to read the comments about the quilt show this year. The sewing club I belong to decided to only go to the show held at the Continental Inn and not downtown to the big show at the Convention Center. After we observed the price of fabric at downtown show last year - $12 to $15 per yard - we decided to stay away from that area. I understand that vendors charge that much in order to make up the cost of their booth rental, but they should also consider where they are.....there is a quilt shop on every corner in Lancaster County with exceptionally good prices. My club had a great time at the Continental and we love the vedors there. It is so nice to be so close...I went back on Friday and got a few things that I had passed up on Thrusday. Living here for a quilter is like living in the middle of a trout stream for a fisherman.
