Hello, I was at my LQS this week and picked up a flyer for Q.U.I.L.T.S Biennial Quilt Show to be held at the state fairgrounds March 19 and 20.

Has anyone ever gone?

I am thinking about going since it is just an hour drive. I live in boonies so an hour is no long trip.

Is this what you are talking about? I'd never heard of it, but it's close to me, too. I will give it some thought. I've never been to a real quilt show.

Yep that's what I'm talking about. The ladies at the LQS said it is every other year and they say it is pretty big. Might be a nice warm up for my Paducah trip! :)
