Going to the big shows and conventions are so much FUN! It's not just about shopping - it's about being in the presence of some really amazing artwork. Because our quilts are our art. There are so many details lost in photographs...I love to see the quilts up close and in person...some of the fancier show quilts as well as the everyday utility quilts. Also - there are usually classes offered on techniques that aren't always easily found in books or magazines...some of these famous quilters own rights to their techniques and are the only ones authorized to teach them. Plus it's just fun to walk around and meet hundreds of others who are passionate about quilting just like me!!
