Great to go! Glad for all of you who are going. Living in Texas, I have been to the International Show in Houston several times and it is always awesome; very inspiring, lots and lots of vendors so you can always spend 3 times more than you thought you would, good shows, LOUSY convention FOOD, wonderful shows, classes if you sign up ahead of time. Now, I take snacks, and take lots of pictures (no flashes), watch lots of demos, take in the FREE shows, take rest breaks and drink lots of fluids. The Fairfield Fashion Show was an absolute blast with their far-out clothes. The artists now out there who paint on fabrics and lots of "fabric embellishments and manipulation"...just amaze me! Quilts are no longer warm comfy necessity bed coverings.......wow!
