I've read so many wonderful stories about members trips to Paducah --I would choose Paducah-

Since I already live in Texas, it would be Houston.
I'll wait for Paducah on the second round of hand outs.

Houston!!! It's the best quilt show anywhere!!!!

Paducah it a smaller town and there are lots of things you can do around there

Are you asking because you're just curious what the answers would be, or are you asking because you have to make this choice, and you want to know what others think? I have a friend who goes to both every year, and she will definitely tell you there are huge differences between the two shows. I'll ask her about it if you're interested.

Houston Quilt show

houston is supposed to be the be-all end-all. i guess i'd try there.

It would be a no choice for me, since I've been to Paducah about 20 times now. Of course I'd opt for Houston. But, that said, I believe I could do both for the $2,000. Guess it depends on how much you want to do there and how much you want to bring back.

I've never been to Paducah or Houston - but I've been to the quilt how in Chicago and Cincinnati.

So I'd say Paducah - where's my money?

Well let's see, tornado season in the midwest, or humidity from hell in Houston, tough call. Have fun. :thumbup:
