I was planning on going this year, but have to have surgery instead. Bummer.
One place I was looking at if you like EPP is Paper Pieces. They have all sorts of fun workshops, demos & a trunk show ranging from free to $180. Here's the link to their brochure if you're interested: http://siterepository.s3.amazonaws.c...ure_online.pdf

Thank you! I forgot about them. Have ordered from them in the past. Will try to stop there.

Paducah is definitely on my want to do list--but my first knee replacement (partial)is acting up and wondered how much walking is involved?

Reading this and looking at all these pictures makes me want to travel to North America (never been there)! If I ever make it there, I better see that it is during this show! It's every year, right?

Yes same time every year.

As much walking as you want. I am going with bus and staying 5 nights. That means 4 days to look around. Will take it easy each day to not overdo.

OMG! I'm a first timer going with a bunch (11) other first timers. I just plan to be totally exhausted when my time there is done.

Oh, there is another quilt show just a few miles from Paducah, many go to it to avoid the big crowds during quilt week. It is very nice. I forgot the name of the show. When I went it was hard to find, one little sign up on the road. I'm sure someone here knows about it.

try and visit phannocks of paducha and the button factory so much fun!!

Have never heard about the Button Factory?
