Here's an idea of all of you that live fairly far away--plan on the Kansas City Regional Quilt Fest (the first was the 3rd most attended quilt show in 2015--it's a biannual event) in June 2017 and go to MSQC while in the area--it's about an hour+ from the Overland Park Convention Center where the KCRQF is held. The trip to Hamilton is well worth it and the KCRQF is awesome and there are lots of LQS between and around the 2--so see you in KC area in 2017? Hope so!
