I wrote a chatty message on this topic and the iPad ate it when I tried to post it. 🤷♀️ Let me shorten it to say I LOVE Quilt Festival! If you have any interest and if you can , then go before your health or situation makes it even more difficult. It is challenging for me because of big city traffic and parking, but I look forward to it all year. I finally made it to the AQS show in Paducah in 2019 , and a smaller one in Branson this year. I enjoy local Guild shows too, wherever I can get to them, but there is nothing like Quilt Festival.
