I went down with friends and combined the weekend trip with a visit to DD's as she lives less than 15 mins from the convention center. As I said in another thread, I loved the vendors, but not the quilts. It was nice to find many of the little things I wanted (specific needles, silk thread, etc.) without having to pay shipping for them, but had I gone only to view the quilts, I'd have been disappointed.
As it's just a few minutes from DD's, if it fits in the schedule, I'd go again - but if I had to pay for a hotel, I'd definitely skip it.
