I would love to go, but I hesitate because of the crowds. I don't think it would be fun if you couldn't get up close and have a real hands-on experience. And how about the traffic and lodging problems? We live so far away we would have to stay at least a couple of nights. Do motels/hotels offer shuttle service? I've been to the quilting expo in Atlanta, GA, but it's in one convention center building with plenty of parking. Not like a whole town situation. I just can't understand how you get from one place to another. Would love for someone to report on the logistics of something this big and crowded. But I love to hear about your fun and good times from those of you who get to go.
