Getting ready to go to the International Quilt Festival this am / Anyone been yet? Did you see anything I should keep a eye out for? This is my first and I can't wait!m :D

Wow, right in your backyard. Lucky you!
Have a wonderful time.

I've never been to one but planning on going to the show in Columbus, Oh. in June.
Let us know how you like the show and have a great time.

I plan on going to the one in Columbus in June too. Maybe I'll see you there.

I've been to several when they were in the Chicago area. I brought snacks (cheese sticks, yogurt, water) to hold me. I didn't want to wait in line and pay the money for a food there. Afterwards hubby and I went to a nice restaurant for dinner. Definitely wear comfy shoes. I wore clothes that had pockets in them so I didn't need to bring a purse. Just carried my card, drivers license and cash! I viewed the quilts first and then the vendors.

Please post tonight what you saw -

Let us know if there's something that we MUST see.

Tell us about anything you think would make our visit better.

I'll be waiting to hear your suggestions!

ENJOY YOURSELF

Yep! In my back , Probably a fifteen minute drive. I could hang out all weekend.................Need to pick up some batteries for the camera. Will post some pics later.

epsom salts in a warm foot bath you did say it was your first!!

Great! I'll let you know which day I attend.
Always nice to see a fellow quiltboard member

I am definitely going to pack some snacks as you stated. String cheese , peanuts . etc. NO purse and lots of pockets for sure , a tote bag and comfy shoes. I see your my neighbor in Indy! I'm heading to Holton sunday to see my parents.

I think you need to watch what you post online. Some quilters may not like it. Ya know that copyright thing....

Great! Just look for the shortest woman there and that will be me. I'm only 4'10"!!

Of course :x . What should I not post ?

If it is like the show in Chicago, bring water and a sandwich or fruit or something to eat. Food is way overpriced and water is $2.50 a bottle. Enjoy! I am envious!

Well......I'm off to the SHOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you come back from all the fun don't
forget to tell us the whole story.....
and we want pictures. If they allow pictures
at the show, they will expect that they will
be posted somewhere.......I could be wrong.

At the Chicago Show they did not allow Beverages into the show. A few were able to sneak them in if they were not in plain sight.
They also did not allow any food or beverages out of the food court areas.

How exciting!! I can't wait to hear about it and to see pictures too :D:D:D

They had water fountains at the Chicago show....

It's amazing how long a quilter can go on bare minimum food and water intake at a quilt show! :) :) :)
