The first day of the Hampton show it snowed and the interstate exit according the state police web site was shut down most of the morning. I got an email from the event planners at noon saying the parking lot was still being cleared, but by 1 it was suppose to be clear and the email also said the classes had started at 9 as scheduled. You have to sign up months in advance to get the classes you want. Lucky I wasn't taking a class or I would have been mad. On Sunday, there was ice and the roads again weren't in good shape. The show was a bust for me this year, because of the weather conditions.
I would like to go to the Lancaster AQS show, but I don't normally plan trips north in the winter. How was the weather/roads? |

Maureen,
Wasn't Cindy's class fantastic? I really enjoyed it. And her samples were gorgeous. Then I took two with RaNae Merrill. Also excellent. Where were you sitting? I was the right end of the second row. BJ |
bus may have been provided by the show at the continental; however, it did take you to the aqs show. all I was saying was we were there at 8 and the buses were already sold out until 12 because reservations were taken earlier the days before.

bayberry the roads were fine. didn't even look like it had snowed there. but ya never know.

I went on Sat, and stayed in Wyomissing.. The show was a let down, as there weren't that many quilts on display, and few vendors..
I like the show in Philly by Mancuso. It is amazing, and huge. I like that there are quilts from all over the world. The Hershey show was also better... |
i think what bothered me the most was on the 2 and 3 floors rows of quilts separated the 2 or 4 vendors from the front door. the vendors were in the back of the room. I know if it were me I would have been pissed to say the least. paying all that money and if the customers didn't go to view the quilts, no one would have known you were in the back. very poorly handled.

how disappointing! Come to Kansas City this summer for the first annual KC Regional Quilt Fest Jun 18-22! Only weather will be hot!

I wonder if the low vendor turnout had anything to do with the horrible snows, ice, floods and cancelled air flights that most of the eastern portion of the USA was going through?
