I reserved at a hotel about 4-5 blocks away from the center. DH is my chauffeur, and he drives on any weather (from the snow belt). So I'm not worried about weather too much, especially with the current snow storm we are having right now. Usually after 'the big one' we don't get much more.
Can't wait though-- I'm taking a Baby Lock serger class. We'll be making a pieced and quilted tote AND a wallet in 6 hours. The next day I'm in Vikki Pignateli's Improvisation Everyone Can Do. We'll be making a wall hanging with curves and sharp points free-style. Here is a link to her gallery:

This will be my first 'art quilt' and I'm really excited. I am imagining the new dimension in quilting this will open for me.
Of of course I will be trying out some of the new machines, buying some notions/tools and trying my hand at weaving at one of the exhibits. I might buy a Pfaff Passport 3.0 if the price is right. We'll see...
