This will be my third year. I look forward to Quilt Festival all year. First year I went alone. Two days. Last year my cousin came down from Dallas and we together. Had a great time. This year will do two day, maybe three if my feet hold up. A friend and I are going. It will be all new to her, so that makes me excited. I always book one of the lunch lectures on one day. The food is good, and it is a great opportunity to meet other festival goers from all over the world. Then each day I book a lecture. This is a great opportunity to sit down, rest your feet and learn something from some really incredible quilters. I have not taken any classes yet, because with just two days, I don't have time enough to see all the quilts, and visit all the vendors and take classes too. If you have never been, and don't have anyone to go with, don't be discouraged. We are all quilters, so you will meet plenty of like minded people to talk too.
I go early enough to park across the street. It also gets me ahead of the crowds.
