Hi! I wore my red ribbon, but did not see anyone from the QBF. Wow! Wasn't it a show? I was there on Wed. & Thursday. The crowds had thinned out at the convention center on Wed. afternoon, so it was room to meander through the aisles. I bought three patterns--two for handbags and one for an unusual apron. Then I bought some quilt backing at the tent and about 14 one yard lengths at Hancock's of Paducha for various projects. I love the fabric at Hancock's. The quality is superb but pricey. The Eleanor Burns show was so funny and entertaining. I would like to plan to stay in Paducah next year overnight and sign up for a workshop. They are expensive, but I guess the presenters have a lot of expense.
I know where Hardin is. We bypassed it as we traveled into Paducah. We are in northwest Middle Tennessee. We took 641 to the Parkway and then to I-24 West.
