I am a fairly new quilter. I am self taught from those cool YouTube videos. I have always wanted to go to Paducah and just two weeks ago booked a room at the Harrah's in Metropolis. It was at the time the only place I could find where I did not have to book for two or three nights. I am not sure what to expect when I go but at least this year I made better plans and at least have a room.
