In my experience these shows are “a shopping” experience. You can see new products, demonstrations, classes, etc. They do have quilts displayed, but there is not a “quilt show” where quilts are entered, judged and awarded ribbons. It is fun to go to these Quilt, Craft and Sewing Festivals to shop and/or be educated.
