I'm sorry but I think that's sort of harsh if the mother is working and the grandmother agreed to take care of the baby while the mother worked. I doubt Mom is out partying and having a good time while leaving the baby with Grandma ...
I wouldn't take an infant (or any child under the age of 13) to a quilt show myself, but I see people who bring them to the Houston show all the time. If Grandma can handle carrying the baby in a sling, that's really the best way to do it, because a stroller is a hazard with so many people around.
