I saw that there are several quilters from Colorado who are members of this group. However, I am thinking that these expos are probably pretty similar all over the country. Is it like a bazaar to buy things, or more of a place to show off what is offered by various manufacturers? I have been to home and garden expos and it seems more like businesses trying to get you to hire them to do stuff for you. I also have been to gun shows where it is all about purchasing items. So, I am wondering which end of the spectrum a sewing expo falls nearer to. I am hoping it is a place to get some great ideas and some great items.
