Wow! What a great show! We just got back, and after going to Paducah every spring for the past 10 years or so, I think we have a new tradition!! Anybody else attend this?

It was a great show. Myself, and 9 sewing buddies went in a Motorhome. We had a ball....also had my little toy poodle!! We managed to leave several Illinois $$$'s with the vendors also!

DH and I went Wednesday, Thursday and Friday - and still didn't get to see or do everything we started out wanting to! Loved seeing all of the quilts (especially Millie's - that hand quilting was exquisite!), bought a package of that new Legacy batting to try out and some of that Applique Fiber too. :D

I am one of dbeck's sisters and they were amazing, inspired me to try some stippling and mixing quilting. We had a blast but don't know about other sis and mom because they may have been sore after all the walking etc.
