Lisa - nice to see a "neighbor" on the board. I live in Mooresville and, too, am looking forward to AQS in Charlotte next year. I've been going up to the Lancaster show since before it was an AQS one (my hometown is about 30 miles west of Lancaster). I'm trying to encourage all my quilty friends to go - I am amazed at people who think that Charlotte is too far to go!! From Shelby? Or Lincolnton? It comes right after Quilt Odyssey which I always go to - it's in Hershey which again is near my hometown. So I will be hustling come next summer - I definitely do not want to miss out on any show I can get to!! And I always go to the Expo in Statesville in January - never missed one including the year it snowed - always go on Friday so it really helped that time.
If you're looking for a nice quilt guild, come on down to Mooresville - we meet the second Monday of each month at 10am in the Senior Center.
Have a very Happy Thanksgiving
Sandy in Mooresville
