that is all why I have nothing to do with quilt shows any more they use to really be fair and all had a catagory I had a quilt make it all the way to Paducah in 1998 and also published in a magazine but I went in a category I have also
seen what they do at fairs any more and it is all very different also most of our quilt clubs, guilds and shops are gone not sure if it is just our area or not I do know the prices has effected a lot of people as well as the copyright laws has gotten so bad that some patterns say personal use only so not like the good old days when we got together to exchange and just have fun now everything is speed and money so wonder where it will go from here
