The inspiration and joy of the quilts, meeting new friends and the fellowship of quilters, viewing new tools, fabrics, and methods, taking classes that are not available at LQS, being awed by everything!
I have the ideal person to go with - my best friend who is also a quilter. While we have some of the same likes, we also differ in many areas. We split up when we go into the show and agree to meet at a certain time, usually for lunch. We each have a list of things we are looking for (sometimes just to see if we really want them) and a copy of each other's list. If we see something that was on the other's list, we give each other a call (love the cell phones!). Or if we see something that is really unique or interesting, we will call. Afterward we have the fun of sharing it all! Ah, heavenly!!
