Pacific International Quilt Festival
Friends and I went to this yesterday. It was our 5th year of attending. Not enough words to say how wonderful it was this year. Some many fantastic quilts to look at. First time I ever saw a 3 D quilt. (You had to wear special glasses to get the entire experience.) All the quilts were breath taking. Hats off to long arm quilters. One could not believe the detail, depth and creativity that long arm quilters are using. I can not imagine the hours and hours that went into just learning these skills, practicing, and applying the skills.
We all agreed there were more vendors then ever this year. The center were it is held is HUGE. It is a lot of walking. I'm convinced you can not see it all in one day. This was the first year I almost went into over load. Everywhere you looked you found ideas, products and creativity. They also had fantastic classes. You really have to sign up month in advance because they fill up fast.
We only live 30 miles away so I think next year we need to attend for 2 days.
