I’m in the same boat as DJ. I’ve only been to the quilt exhibit at the state fair with my husband. We live in Alaska so our opportunities for shows are limited but he supports my quilting hobby fully. He is the reason I ended up having the opportunity to go to Quilt Festival Houston. He encouraged me to change my ticket for a visit to family to include the days of the festival. It was worth it and such an enjoyable experience for me. I think he would enjoy seeing the quilts at a show, though, as he appreciates the photos I brought home. He would not like the crowds on the vendor side, though.
