I went yesterday and was very disappointed in the show. There were some very, very good quilts (some really great work by our own Green Fairy, Judi Madsen), but not nearly enough of them. There were a lot of vendors that I hadn't seen at quilt shows before, so that was nice, and I picked up some batiks at a very good price. Over all I'm not thrilled with sharing a show with other crafts. I want to see quilts and quilting stuff, and I want it to fill the room. There was a lot of open space, a lot of space devoted to sewing and knitting, and several exhibits (e.g. the quilted garden) that could have been left out in favor of putting in more quilts. I thought that the previous shows at the convention center have been much, much better in terms of quilts. This one was probably better in terms of vendors, but they're not the reason I attend the shows.
