I got to Houston Quilt Festival every year. Since I live here, it's relatively cheap for me to go. I save money all year out of my weekly cash so that when I go I can buy what I want. I've done this every since I started going back when I was much younger and much poorer. lol I love to look at the quilts and still go back and look at all the pictures I took of them. I just enjoy the time away from the "real world", too. Although I'm not good with crowds, I do find that you meet some very nice people standing in lines and sitting at the big round tables for lunch.
I could probably find lots of negatives to going, but I prefer to look at all the positives and think about how much I enjoy quilt shows and hope they are well attended and around for a very long time.
