I made it to Paducah!
 

I finally made it to Paducah last week. I was in heaven when I walked into Hancock's! Took my patterns with me, planning to buy fabric for them and instead bought fabric for patterns I don't have yet and bought more patterns for fabric I don't have. Quilt in a Day was such a nice store and great prices. Didn't have time to select fabric as they were still on their winter hours and closed at 4pm. Did get a couple fo Eleanor's books that I haven't seen before. Wish I would have had time to go to the quilt museum - but that will give me an excuse to go back.

I am jealous, I love this store's fabrics, I buy on line.

I'm excited that you were able to go! Sounds like you had a great time. :)

You definitely have to go back - the museum is well worth a trip!!!!!!

I like to go to Paducah during the quilt show week. It is so much fun. One day will just not do at all!

End of the month ......then the town explodes with quilts and quilters and good deals.....go my room

I went to every show for the first fifteen years...then we moved back to SC and I worked, so I couldn't make the trip in the time available...now I'm too far away and (probably) too lazy to go that far from home....sigh....:)...But isn't it fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I so look forward to the show each year, My house fills up with out of town family and friends, and we have such a lovely week, it just ends too soon!

I can hardly wait too! My DD lives in Paducah and works for the newspaper and she actually gets to cover some of the quilt goings-on! Even my DH goes with us and pays to see the quilts, etc. - one of the very few men! I already have my Eleanor Burns coupons printed off!

can't wait to go too. I also have my coupons printed. better yet I am taking a class on tuesday the 23rd with Eleanor herself... attending a class with Edtya Sitar on Sat. couple other lectures in between. let's go...

How do you get the coupons. I am going to the quilt show and You know I am going to buy fabric. lol

Ooooh, you lucky! Paducah sounds like quilter's heaven to me. Someday...
We have a Quilt in a Day store close to us. I used to take my son when I went and he'd hang out with the sound guys (that's where she made her videos) and he'd always say "take your time Mom". I didn't have to be told twice!

I hope to get up for a weekend either this month or next month, but not the show. So I'm glad to hear you had a good time there even without the show.

One day I will make it to Paducah.. ONE day .. sigh .. I am so glad you made it and enjoyed it ...

Someday I'd like to get out there to visit

Thanks for sharing! I live to far away.

It sounds like you had a great time!! I've been to the Keepsake Quilting store in New Hamshire and that is a thrill every time I get to visit there while we are on vacation. I felt like I was in Heaven!

I love Hancock's and the QUilt in a Day shop. Great places to visit - and the quilt museum, too of course.

I so want to go this year and take my FW's with me to sell, but can't find a place to stay at this late date. Guess I'll reserve very early next year.
