14 hours later, boy am I tired. Not as many quilts as last year in Hershey. Quilt wise i liked that show better, but this show was huge with vendors and I got some great deals. I will share all in the next few days. I am beat and going to bed soon tonight.

Lucky you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to hear about the deals!!

In the main hall there is a lady that sells metal templates (isle 500 I think but don't quote me on that). They are 1/4 inch outlines that you can use to cut and mark seams. She has good prices. The circle ruler was only three dollars and some odd cents. I bought a curve foot for my machine. I can't wait to use that. I didn't see too many fabrics that were stand out deals but I didn't really need any either. I did buy some coordinated fabrics on the second floor. They were 21.50 (about) for 8 fats. Not a great deal but I am color retarded and need that kind of help.

Oh and one of the big batting vendors had 24 inch batting sample packs for 5.00. perfect for the doll quilts.

OH and the best part. There is an Irish pub/restaurant next door that has great Shepherds Pie!!!

Oh wow! I love Shepherds pie! Leaving to go to Lancaster after work tomorrow and will be there until Saturday afternoon. Can hardly wait.

You just sent up a flag for me!! What is a curved foot? I've not heard of one of these. Please educate!! :lol:

Glad to hear I did not miss much. I am registered to attend 2 classes at the Hershey Quilt Show. I planned my summer visit with the kids around the date.

Will you be going this year? It would be fun to meet and maybe have lunch together.

Maybe there will be other forum members planning to go to Hershey? I am looking for a roommate to share a room at the Hershey inn for 2 nights - Thurs and Friday nights. Have classes planned on Thurs and Sat. so I can have Friday free to do the show. Plan to leave after the class on Sat.

Oh wait until you see this thing. It is a little palstic foot that will fit onto any machine. You have a concave and convex curve cut (like drunkards path) instead of fighting the outter curve (convex) peice into the inner curve (concave) you simply match the two ends together and lay them into the foot. Start to stitch then hold the outter curve peice up a bit and the foot will work them into perfect position while you sew the curve. No easing or cussing. and it is a perfect 1/4 inch.

I will be at Hershey. I will be doing one day only though so we will come home. I hope to see you there.
