my daughter moved to Paducah many years ago - a free place to stay for the Quilt show. She was a newspaper reporter and since she was the only reporter with any quilting experience, (thanks to her Home Ec teacher) the newspaper assigned her the job of making the special edition/pullout for the Quilt show activities, interviews, etc. So, she knew her way around town, etc. The first day my husband stayed at her house for the day and hated that - so the next day he went with us - he was our "bag carrier" - LOL He said that the average age of the quilters was 70 and that they were all from Iowa. Yes, most of the ladies had on name tags from their bus tour groups, quilting clubs, etc. but I was amazed that they were all from Iowa. No - he just meant that they were "corn fed" - LOL - we are farmers and he was referring to their heftiness. LOL
