Paducah was wonderful!!! If there's anyone that hasn't gone to a national quilt show I strongly encourage you to go---they are fantastic! Every imaginable pattern, book, fabric, gadget, you name it, it's there. The bad thing for me was that I didn't get to "do" near all of it. We did get to Carson Park where Eleanor Burns has a fabric tent and a pattern barn, the Quilt in a Day store downtown, Hancocks of Paducah and the huge "bubble" outside the convention center. 6 hours just isn't a long enough time. One of these days I'm going to drive down and stay 2 or 3 days. I got some fabulous fabric, a couple of books, a couple of patterns and an Aunt Becky hand quilting aide. Today I'm off to a weekend painting retreat. Enjoy.
