'There is a quilt show here in Jax, FL. in Sept.. 7 guilds help with volunteers. Some of the vendors are not going to be there this year, and some have cut down their booth size. If the vendors have a store, and do a show, they have to pay someone to be at their store those days, and then the store doesn't have much left in stock in case someone shows up there. A vicious circle for vendors. Most quilters have their favorite stores or online sites, and unless its a real good price you don't buy that much anyway. I'm like Patrice J, I go to see the quilts, and who won the prizes. LOL
