My head is about to EXPLODE! You all are making me want to go!! I think I will... just take off and go by myself. It was those pictures that did it....

If I stay about half an hour away from Paducah, will I have trouble finding all day parking in town?

Please Mo, more info about the Button Factory. Is it a store in Paducah?

How far in advance did you book a hotel? I tried a few years ago to book a room 10 months in advance and there was nothing available. Even going a bit outside of Paducah.

Actually going on a bus tour from Green Bay, WI. The bus owner books the hotel one year in advance. I did see on the quilt week site that they can help with booking places to stay.

Not sure about parking, but the quilt week site has lots of information including ideas for parking. There is a shuttle that takes you to all the venues so you may want to park away from the Quilt Show and take the shuttle in.

I have found rooms at the state parks near paducah, nice (but older) cabins and lodges even close to show dates. We had about a 30 min drive into town.

Hancocks of Paducah has a back room with reduced prices on fabrics and other things. Go there.

Thanks gotta remember that!

Since they don't allow any rolling carts, what does everyone carry their purchases in? Backpack?


Also, I was reading the vendor info and it said they require vendors to sell at full retail, and they can only offer one "special" per booth. What fun is that? Those who have been before, were the vendors all selling at retail prices? I never pay full retail for fabric.

There is also another mini mall in downtown just a half block east of Kirchoff's. One "must go to" vendor is Primitive Gatherings. If you like wonderful more primitive or folk art designs her booth is one of the best. There are probably 25 other vendors in there, too.
