you get so thirsty at the quilt show, so I carry a bottle of water with me inside my bag

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.

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 :-)

Wonderful tips from all! Enjoy meeting other quilters and visiting over lunch. Have met some of the neatness people this way.
