I meet a friend at the Shipshewana Quilt Festival - she comes from Illinois & I come from Michigan. I go for inspiration. But I have found there is a lot of fabric for sale that I don't see at any of my 4 or 5 LQS. I have also picked up a few things for my sewing room, not necessarily gadgets. I love to see the quilts that were quilted on DSMs and get motivated to improve my skills.
