pick up the business cards, and if there is something you are looking at and can't decide whether to buy it make it down on a notebook with the booth # so you can go back later if you decide to buy it



Have fun!


If you have some return address labels take them too. They're great when filling out forms for drawings.

I've never had the opportunity to visit a show. All I can say from the other responses is that you are in store for a great time. Enjoy!

Some of the Quilt shows will not allow backpacks in. Ours doesn't. Enjoy the show and soak it all in.

Ditto on all the advise. Have a great time, it will be a wonderful adventure. My DH comes with me and takes pictures of the quilts on display while I shop and oogle. then when we get home I get to look at the pictures in case I missed seeing something :-)
